Mount the ESC under the motor box by sliding it through the hole in the lower
firewall.
NOTE:
Assembling the rear end of the fuselage is not difficult, but you must follow the
steps below in order to avoid problems.
INSTALL THE STABILIZER:
Temporarily mount the wings on
the fuselage. Slide the
stabilizer into its slot in the rear
of the fuselage and measure
from the back of the wing to the
tips of the stab to make sure the
stab is aligned properly with the
wing. Draw a line along the
sides of the fuselage on the top and
bottom of the stab. Then pull the
stab back out and remove the
covering material from the center of
the stab between the lines. (Leave
1/8 or so of the covering inside the
lines so that the bare wood won't
show after you glue the stab in
place.)
Use epoxy to glue the stab into its slot, using the lines to position it correctly.
INSTALL THE REAR FUSELAGE EXTENSION:
Locate the preassembled rear fuselage extension/ tail wheel, remove the tailwheel
and set it aside.
Put an adjustable pushrod connector through the hole in the
right
side of the
tailwheel steering arm.
Slip the top of the tail wheel strut through the hole in the stabilizer and glue the
extension assembly into the slots in the rear former. (See photo.)
