q Cut away the covering material from over both sides of the three ying wire
bracket mounting holes in the horizontal and vertical stabilisers. One mounting
hole is located in the vertical stabiliser, 5/8" (16mm) down from the top of the
stabiliser and 3-1/8" (80mm) in front of the rudder hinge line. One mounting
hole is located in each side of the horizontal stabiliser, 3-3/8" (86mm) in from
the end of the stabiliser and 3/4" (19mm) in front of the elevator hinge line.
q Install the lower mounting bracket onto the bottom of the fuselage, using one
M3 x 12mm wood screw and one M3 at washer. The centre of the mounting
bracket should be positioned over the middle of the fuselage, 2-3/8" (60mm)
in front of the tail wheel mounting platform.
IMPORTANT Make sure to drill a 5/64" (2mm) diameter pilot hole for the
mounting screw.
q Install mounting brackets onto each side of the top and the bottom of the
horizontal stabiliser, using two M3 x 25mm machine screws, four M3 at
washers and two M3 lock nuts. Don't tighten the lock nuts completely at this
time. Leave them slightly loose.
IMPORTANT Remember, the two mounting brackets that are bent at a
shallower angle are installed on the bottom of the horizontal stabiliser.
q Install the remaining two mounting brackets onto each side of the vertical
stabiliser, using one M3 x 25mm machine screw, two M3 at washers and
one M3 lock nut. Don't tighten the lock nut completely at this time. Leave it
slightly loose.
STEP 2: INSTALLING THE FLYING WIRES
q Slide one metal eyelet onto one end of the stranded cable, then rmly crimp
the metal eyelet, using a pair of pliers, to lock the stranded cable into place.
q Install the metal eyelet onto the mounting bracket on the bottom of one side
of the stabiliser, using one M3 x 10mm machine screw, two M3 at washers
and one M3 lock nut.
IMPORTANT Install the machine screw from the bottom of the mounting
bracket. You will need to deect the elevator half up and pivot the mounting
bracket over the hinge line to install and tighten the machine screw.
