Install the Tail Surfaces

Install the Tail Surfaces

1. Slide the stab into the slot in the rear of the fuselage. Center it as you did with the wing. Make sure the measurements shown in the sketches are equal. Glue the stab in place when satisfied with the fit.

2. Locate the 13.5" [343 mm] carbon elevator rod. Insert this rod into the preinstalled plastic bearings on the stab. DO NOT glue in place.

3. Use foam-safe CA to glue one of the elevator halves to the carbon elevator rod. Then glue the other elevator to the carbon elevator rod. Be sure the two halves are even as shown.

4. Glue the fin and rudder to the fuselage with epoxy. Make sure that the fin remains perpendicular to the stab and centered on the fuselage.

Hinge the Ailerons

1. Locate one of the carbon wing hinge assemblies. One of the carbon tubes is glued to the bearings; the other is free to rotate. Remove the loose carbon rod to prevent accidental gluing in the next steps.
