Slide the stab onto the aluminum tubes.

Use the two #4x 1/2” screws to lock the stab

in place. The blind nuts are already installed in

the fuselage.

Be sure and use thread lock on the bolts.

Repeat for the other stab half.

3.

Use a 3/16” drill and drill 1/8” into the hinge

holes on both the stab and elevator so the

hinges will fit up to the hinge pin.

Trial fit the elevator to the stab.

4. Make a mark 1/4” inboard from the center of

the stab and 1/8” back from the top of the

bevel.

Transfer this mark to the other side of the

stab.

Using a 1/8” drill, drill the hole for the control

horn.

5.

Install the 4-40x3” bolt, nylon washer, nylon nut,

and tighten down.

Install the pushrod fitting on the end.

Repeat for the other elevator.

6.

Hinge the elevators in place using the same

method we did on the ailerons and rudder.

HINT: Drill the hole from the bottom half way.

Then measure and mark the top of the

aileron and drill down to the hole from the

top of the aileron.

7.

Make sure not to screw the pushrod con-

nector down from the top of the screw

more than 1/8” from the top. Leave them

long to provide the mechanical advantage

needed on large surfaces. If more throw is

needed use a longer servo arm.
