 Pull the surrounding tape from the control horn and clean and glue residue from the painted surface.
Use a long piece of masking tape stretched over the center of the control horn to hold in position
while the AeroPoxy cures.
SWEPT FIN
NOTE: The swept fin assembly is very similar to the stabilizers.
 Use a round file to clean the hole for the front pin. Bevel
one end and round the other of the CF anti rotation pin.
 Trial fit the front pin in place using the ¼” ply alignment
fixture (opposite side as the stab fixture used earlier). The
pin should protrude both ply formers and touch the leading
edge of the fin.
 After setting the depth the pin must be inserted, tape the
CF pin to the ¼” ply fixture.
 Insert the taped CF pin into the front hole. Tape the rear
spar to hold in position, and allow AeroPoxy to cure.
INSTALLING THE SWEPT FIN RUDDER SERVO
 Use the long arm of the JR Heavy Duty 2-way servo arm. This length is very important; the rudder
linkage system has been designed to provide sufficient rudder travel and the required amount of
power for 200 MPH flight. Using alternative servos or arms may unnecessarily risk the plane.
 Use the JR Matchmaker to orient the servo arm to be
slightly forward from perpendicular. Install the grommets
and eyelets from the bottom of the servo as shown.
 Use a Perma-Grit file and a 1/16” cutter to open the
servo arm slot in the vertical fin skin. Open this up to the
marked line and adjust for proper clearance once the
servo is installed and linkage connected.
