LONG TAIL CONTROL ROD GUIDE ATTACHMENT
TEAM TIP: Once tail guides are attached to the tail boom, check to insure that the tail control rod will move freely with little
resistance. Rotate the tail guides as needed until the system moves as easily as possible. Once this has been achieved,
apply a small amount of CA adhesive to bond the tail guides to the tail boom. This will prevent the guides from moving
accidentally during flight. Apply oil to the rod and guides after assembly.
Note:
The tail control rod final adjustment will
need to be made prior to the first flight.
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
1) Slide the tail rod guides onto the rod and keep in
place using masking tape on each end of the rod.
