Install the Tail Surfaces

❏

1. Slide the stab into the slot in the rear of the fuselage.

Center it as you did with the wing. Make sure the

measurements shown in the sketches are equal. Glue the

stab in place when satisfied with the fit.

❏

2. Locate the 13.5" [343 mm] carbon elevator rod. Insert

this rod into the preinstalled plastic bearings on the stab. DO

NOT glue in place.

❏

3. Use foam-safe CA to glue one of the elevator halves to

the carbon elevator rod. Then glue the other elevator to the

carbon elevator rod. Be sure the two halves are even as shown.

❏

4. Glue the fin and rudder to the fuselage with epoxy. Make

sure that the fin remains perpendicular to the stab and

centered on the fuselage.

❏ ❏

1. Locate one of the carbon wing hinge assemblies.

One of the carbon tubes is glued to the bearings; the other

is free to rotate. Remove the loose carbon rod to prevent

accidental gluing in the next steps.
