D. Add six drops of thin CA to the center of the hinges

on both sides. Use a paper towel to absorb excess CA from

the hinge gap before it cures. Do not use CA accelerator;

allow the CA to cure slowly.

5. Use the same hinging method to join the elevators to

the stab.

6. Position one of the nylon control horns up 1/2"

[13mm] up from the bottom of the rudder. Align the horn

parallel to the bottom of the rudder. Drill two 3/32" [2.5mm]

holes through the rudder using the horn as a guide. Harden

the holes using two or three drops of thin CA. Attach the nylon

control horn to the rudder using two 2mm x 15mm screws.

7. Position the remaining control horn in line with the center

of the fuselage on the bottom of the elevator. Attach the

control horn to the elevator using two 2mm x 15mm screws.

1. Slide one hardwood 3/8" x 1/4" x 2" [9.5mm x 6mm x

50mm] servo rail into its slot in the fuselage doubler. Slide

it all the way forward and glue it in place with thick CA. Slide

the other servo rail into place and then slide it all the way aft.

Do not glue it yet! Position one of your servos in place and

use it to position the rear servo rail. Do not push the rear

servo rail tight against the servo, but rather leave about a

3/32" [2.5mm] gap between the servo “body” and the aft

servo rail. This will provide enough room to install and

remove the servos without removing the rails. Glue the rear

servo rail in place.
