inutes:Seconds]

1. Unlatch, lift out and set aside the two(2) radio-compartment hatch covers. Remove and discard the wire ties at the

bottom of the fuselage, then pull out from the fuselage and set aside the wooden engine-mounting box and the

cardbaord box containing the cabanes and struts.

2. With the elevator servo’s output shaft toward the rear of the fuselage, install the elevator

servo in the servo tray’s rear-most position [00:06]. With the rudder servo’s output shaft

toward the rear of the fuselage, install the rudder servo in the servo tray’s second-from-the-

front position [00:17].

3. Attach the two(2) preinstalled clevises with double wires

exiting the fuselage’s sides to the rear/elevator servo [00:41].

Attach the preinstalled clevises with single wires exiting the

fuselage’s top to the front/rudder servo [01:57].

4. Apply a dab of petroleum jelly to the center of the

eight(8) hinge points to protect them from glue. Using the

predrilled holes in the rudder and in each elevator, attach the

hinge points to the rudder and elevators with epoxy glue or

aliphatic resin [02:32]. Mount (and carefully center) control-

horn assemblies in the predrilled holes in each half of the

elevator and in the rudder [03:01].

5. Glue the rudder’s hinges into the two predrilled holes in the vertical

stabilizer using epoxy glue or aliphatic resin. Glue the elevator’s hinges

into the six predrilled holes in the horizontal stabilizer using epoxy

glue or aliphatic resin [04:05].

6. Position the horizontal stabilizer’s flat surface on its mounting platform at

the rear of the fuselage, insert three(3) of the 63 mm (2½-inch) hex-head

bolts into the holes in the horizontal stabilizer, and secure (but

don’t overtighten) with the supplied hex wrench [04:25].

7. Insert the tabs at the base of the vertical stabilizer into the

slot in the horzintal stabilizer [04:45]. Insert two(2)

38 mm (1½-inch) hex-head bolts into the holes on the left

side of the fuselage, and secure (but don’t overtighten)

with the supplied hex wrench [05:00].

8. Attach the two(2) pull-pull wires exiting the top of the fuselage to the left and right control horns on the rudder.

Attach the pairs of pull-pull wires exiting the sides of the fuselage to the top and bottom control horns on each

half of the elevator [05:30].
