8. Flip the wing over so top is up. Cut out hole for servo in
center of wing. Using a sharp hobby knife or razor, cut
through the covering and score the break-a-way on both
sides until the square comes out easily.
9. Install the servo, adjusting the size of the opening as
needed, with a hobby knife. Drill tiny holes through
servo mounts and mount the servo using servo-
manufacturer provided screws.
10. Using a hobby knife or rotary tool, clean covering out of
control horn slots on ailerons. Glue the control horns
into the slots using thick CA glue.
11. Insert the Z-bend end of the aileron push rod into the
control horn. With the servo control arm disconnected
from the servo, slide the two aileron control rods into the
two EZ links or servo control linkage of your choice.
(NOTE: EZ links are NOT provided in the build kit.)
Line up the ailerons so that they are in neutral position,
then tighten the screws on the EZ links. Cut excess
wire. Wing is complete!
Assembly of the Tail Section
1. Cut away covering from slots on the vertical and
horizontal stabilizer for mounting the tail section
mount. Line the tail section mount with the bottom
edge of the vertical stabilizer and trace the edge with
a marker. It is important to note that the sloped
side of the tail section mount should point
forward, towards the front of the airplane. Cut
the plastic covering just inside this area so that the
balsa wood there will glue on better. Be careful not
to cut into the balsa. Test-fit the two pieces. They
should fit snugly.

2. Attach the tail mount to the horizontal stabilizer
using thin CA glue, being careful to check it is
square.
3. Choose which side of the rudder and elevator you
want to put the control horn on (either works fine).
Insert control horn into pre-cut slots in opposite
sides of rudder and elevator, using thin CA glue to
secure. NOTE: GWS control horns also work in
these slots
