2. Attach one of your assembled double wire sets to
the bracket located on the aft upright of the cabane and the
other to the bracket installed into the bottom wing. Assemble
four more clevises, four threaded brass ends, four nuts and
four silicone clevis retainers and place them on the brackets
you installed with the interplane struts. Run the wires from
the single end assembly to the proper clevis, slip the
aluminum crimp tube over the wire and run the wire through
the hole drilled in the threaded brass end. Pull the wire tight,
slip the wire back through the crimp tube twice and use a
pair of pliers to squeeze the crimp tube holding the wire in
place. Cut off any excess wire protruding from the crimp
tube. Repeat this process to the remaining three clevises on
the interplane struts.

3. The flat metal straps which are placed at the top and
bottom of each interplane strut are the locations for the “X”
wires which run between the two interplane struts as shown
in the photo. Cut two pieces of wire 11" [279mm] and make
two wire assemblies, using the same process as above.
These wires run from the bottom of the aft interplane strut to
the top of the forward and from the bottom of the forward strut
to the top of the aft strut, forming an X-brace between the
forward and aft struts as shown in the previous photo.

4. Repeat this process for the left wings.

1. Locate the horizontal stab. Trial fit the stab onto the
stab saddle. Measure the distance from the center of the fuse
to each tip of the stab. This distance needs to be the same.
Make adjustments as needed until the distance is equal.
❏
2. Place a T-pin into the center of the fuse at the firewall.
Measure from the pin to the tip of the stab. The distance
from the pin to the stab tips needs to be equal on both sides.
Once satisfied with the position of the stab securely tape the
stab into place. A Hobbico Retractable Fabric Tape
Measure (HCAR0478) works well for this step.
