It is best to leave a very slight hinge gap, rather than
closing it up tight, to help prevent the CA from wicking
along the hinge line. Make sure the control surfaces will
deflect to the recommended throws without binding. If you
have to cut your hinge slots too deep, the hinges may slide
in too far, leaving only a small portion of the hinge in the
control surface. To avoid this, you may insert a small pin
through the center of each hinge before installing. This pin
will keep the hinge centered while you install the control
surfaces.
ASSEMBLE, THEN APPLY 6 DROPS
OF THIN CA TO CENTER
OF HINGE, ON BOTH SIDES
Apply 6 drops of thin CA adhesive to both sides of each
hinge. Allow a few seconds between drops for the CA to
wick into the slot.

4. Cut eight 1/8" long pieces of inner pushrod tube from
the 6-1/2" piece supplied. Cut 8" from one end of both of
the 35" wire pushrods. Slide four of the plastic bushings
onto each 27" long pushrod wire, spaced as shown on the
plan. If the plastic bushings will not slide on the wire, cut
them shorter. Screw a nylon clevis fourteen revolutions on
to each pushrod.
❏
5. Remove the backing plate from two nylon control
horns, then snap a pushrod clevis on each of the horns.
Slide the pushrods into the guide tubes at the rear of the
fuse. Position the control horns on the elevator and rudder
where shown on the plan, then mark and drill 5/64" holes
through the control surfaces for the horn mounting screws.
Mount the control horns with the 2-56 x 5/8" machine
screws. Remove the pushrods but leave the control horns in
position.
❏
6. Install three servos in the fuse as shown in the sketch.
Note: Sketch shows the bottom of the model looking
through the hatch.
❏
7. Reinstall the pushrods and attach them to the horns.
With the rudder and elevator positioned at neutral, mark the
pushrod where it aligns with the servo horn. Make a 90°
bend at the mark and cut off the excess 3/8" above the
bend. Use faslink pushrod connectors to attach the
pushrods to the servos.
❏
8. Install a throttle linkage pushrod (not included) using
your preferred method.
❏
9. Install the aileron servos in the wing, fishing the servo
leads through the paper tubes as you proceed. Connect the
servo leads to a Y-harness, then center the servo arms.
❏
10. Install the aileron control horns where shown on the
plan. Attach clevises to the two 8" threaded pushrods (left
