Step 1

Slide the stabilizer halves into the slot in the fuselage.

Use four 4-40 x 1/2" screws and four #4 washers to

secure the stabilizer. Use threadlock to prevent the

screws from vibrating loose during flight.

Step 2

Attach a control horn to one of the elevator clevises. Line

the holes in the control horn with the hinge line and mark

the location for the mounting crews onto the elevator.

Step 3

Drill the holes using a 3/32" drill bit. Use thin CA to

harden the holes. Mount the control horn using the horn

backplate and three 2mm x 12mm screws.
