Step 2

Install the rudder servo on the right position of servo 
tray in the fuselage. Attach the servo arm to the servo. 
Make sure the servo arm is perpendicular (90

°

) to the 

centerline of the fuselage when the servo is at the 
neutral position.

Step 3

Put the fuselage on its side with rudder virtually 
connecting. Using the provided rudder cable, measure 
a straight line from the rudder servo arm to the opening 
in Step 1, and mark the extension line on the rudder with 
a pen.

Step 4

Measure rearward 10mm (3/8”) from the edge of the 
rudder bevel and make another mark using a 
pen. The intersection of the line from Step 3 and 
this line will be the position for the rudder 
control horn.

Step 5

Carefully drill through the rudder at the marked position, 
perpendicular (90

°

) to the rudder centerline at the 

marked position. Be especially careful when penetrating 
through the backside of the rudder.

Step 6

Put the threaded rod of the rudder control horn through 
the hole and secure it with the provided nuts. Adjust the 
position of the rod so that it has the same length on both 
sides of the rudder. Screw the molded swivel link with 
linkage onto the threaded rod at the right position so
that the rudder cable in operation will not hit the opening 
of the fuselage.

Step 3

Carefully slide the remaining wing panel onto the wing tube that projects from the fuselage. The fit 
may be tight; use caution when inserting the wing panels onto the wing tube and fuselage.

Step 4

Make sure both wings fit well with the fuselage and 
there is no gap between them. Secure the wing 
panels using the provided wing screws.

Step 1 

Locate the opening for the elevator servo arm at the 
bottom of the stabilizer. Carefully remove the 
covering from the opening using a hobby knife.

Step 2

Install the elevator servo using the hardware 
provided with the servo as shown.
