 1. Locate the eight rigging fittings. Using needle
nose pliers, make a slight bend (about 30 degrees)
in each of the fittings as shown. Make the bend as
close to the smaller hole as shown in the photo.
Make sure to use threadlock on all metal-to-
metal fasteners so they don’t vibrate loose.
 2. Attach a fitting to the top and bottom of the
stabilizer using a 2mm x 8mm machine screw
and a 2mm nut. Make sure the small hole in the
fitting faces in the direction of the hole in the fin on
the top, and to the pre-drilled hole for the fitting
on the bottom of the fuselage. Use a #1 Phillips
screwdriver and 4mm nut driver to tighten the
hardware. Install fittings on both the left and right
stabilizers at this time. Do not fully tighten the nuts
at this time.
 3. Attach a pair of rigging fittings to the rudder
using a 2mm x 8mm machine screw and a 2mm
nut. Make sure the small hole in the fitting faces
in the direction of the fittings on the top of the
stabilizer. Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver and 4mm
nut driver to tighten the hardware. Do not fully
tighten the nuts at this time.
