task, it will result in a cleaner hole than if you use a slower
speed drill. Drilling the hole will twist some of the wood fibers
into the slot, making it difficult to insert the hinge, so you
should reinsert the knife blade, working it back and forth a
few times to clean out the slot.

4. If the hinges don’t remain centered, remove the
elevator and insert a pin in the center of the hinges.
❏
5. Cut a paper towel into approximately 2" [50mm]
squares. Add six drops of thin CA to the center of the hinges
on both sides. Use the paper towel squares to absorb
excess CA from the hinge gap before it cures. Do not use
CA accelerator; allow the CA to cure slowly.

1. Locate the servo holes and remove the covering from
the sides of the fuselage using a sharp hobby knife. Do not
cut into the underlying wood, as this will weaken the
structure and could cause a failure it flight. Seal down the
edges with the Trim Seal Tool. Use 6-minute epoxy to
fuelproof any exposed wood.
❏
2. Install the rubber grommets and eyelets on your
elevator servos. Attach a servo extension to the elevator
servo. Use heat shrink tubing or electrical tape to secure the
servo lead to the extension so they don’t unplug in flight.
Drop the extension into the fuselage.
❏ ❏
3. Fit the elevator servo in the fuselage. Hold the
servo to the fuselage so the sides don’t contact the fuselage
and drill 1/16" [1.5mm] holes for the servo mounting screws.
Remove the servo and wick a few drops of thin CA into each
of the four holes. Mount the servo to the fuselage with the
screws included with your servos.
❏ ❏
4. Cut the unused arms from one of your servo horns
and mount it on one of your elevator servos. The remaining
arm faces the bottom of the stabilizer.
❏ ❏
5. Hold the control horn on the elevator, making sure
the holes align with the hinge gap. The horn must also rest
on the plywood plate installed in the elevator. Use the
control horn as a template to drill 3/32" [2.5mm] holes in the
elevator for the mounting screws.
❏ ❏
6. Screw the #4 x 5/8" self-tapping screws into the
holes. Remove the screws, and apply three drops of thin CA
to each hole drilled to harden the underlying plywood. Re-attach
the control horns using the #4 x 5/8" self-tapping screws.
