Install the Tail Assembly
Halfway
Joiner
Collar
Torque rod
❏
1. Install the horizontal stabilizer followed by the torque
rod and tail gear assembly– be certain the torque rod and
the tail gear wire meet in the middle of the joiner collar, then
use a 1.5mm hex driver with a drop of threadlocker on the
set screws to lock the assembly into position. If necessary,
adjust the tail gear wire in the joiner collar so the tail wheel
will be centered with the torque rod.

2. Install the vertical stabilizer while keying the torque rod
into the channel in the bottom of the rudder.
❏
3. Fasten the horizontal and vertical stabilizer to the fuselage
with the M3 x 60 mm screw – a No. 1 Phillips screwdriver fi ts
best and will properly key into the head of the screw, making
it easier to detect when the screw is getting tight. Use care
not to overtighten the screw – turn until you feel resistance,
then go one additional turn. Tug on the vertical stabilizer to
make certain it is secure.
