❏ 6. Glue the carbon fiber wing dowels into the fuse with
a small amount of thin CA.
❏ 1. Remove the covering from the control horn slots in the
rudder and elevator.
❏ 2. Use a small square and a single-edge razor blade or
a #11 hobby blade to cut a strip of covering from the bottom
and top of the stab aligned with the fin slot and
perpendicular to the hinge line. Use a light touch to cut only
into the covering and not into the wood. Also be sure to
use a new blade–if the blade is dull it will cause you to apply
more pressure, thus cutting into the wood.
❏ 3. Glue the fin to the top of the stab, keeping it vertical
and perpendicular to the elevator hinge line. Note: The
elevator hinge pivot is on the top of the stab.
❏ 1. Mount the wing to the fuse with the four rubber bands.
❏ 2. Move the tape holding the pushrod strings forward of
the pushrod exits.This will minimize the chance of gluing the
pushrod strings to the fuse while gluing the tail in place.
❏ 3. Three things need to be aligned before the tail can be
mounted. Do several dry runs of this process before gluing
the tail to the fuse with medium CA.
❏ 4. The center of the fin needs to be aligned with the
center of the fuse.
