ASSEMBLY

1. Use a straightedge and a single-edge razor blade or a

#11 hobby blade to cut the covering from the left side of the

fin across the top of the tab as shown in the photo. 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.

2. Use the same technique to cut the covering from the

right side of the fin as shown.

3. Cut the covering from the top of the stabilizer the same

way. Note: The top of the stabilizer has the slot for the fin

offset to the left.

4. Cut a narrow slot in the elevator to accommodate one of

the control horns 15/16" [24mm] from the edge of the slot in

the stab and 3/16" [5mm] from the leading edge of the elevator.

5. Fit the control horn into the slot in the top of the

elevator. Add a few drops of thin CA to the bottom of the

elevator where the tab comes out of the slot. Install the

retainer, followed by another drop or two of thin CA.

6. Cut a slot and mount the control horn to the left side

of the rudder the same way. The slot should be 3/4" [19mm]

from the bottom of the rudder and 3/16" [5mm] from the

leading edge of the rudder.
