10. Attaching the horn to the rudder
Cut down the T-piece of the horn 24 for the rudder 13 to a depth
of about 2 mm, using side-cutters. Fit the pushrod connector 25
in the second hole from the inside of the rudder horn 24 and
secure it with the washer 26 and nut 27. Caution: note the
orientation of the connector! Carefully tighten the nut just to the
point where the pushrod connector does not wobble, but still
rotates smoothly. When you are satisfied, apply a tiny drop of
cyano to the nut (on the point of a pin) to prevent it coming loose.
Fit the socket-head grubscrew 28 in the pushrod connector 25
using the allen key 29.
Apply activator to the recess in the rudder, then glue the horn 24
in place, with the row of holes facing the hinge pivot axis.

11. Releasing the elevator and rudder
Release the elevator from the tailplane 12 by cutting at both
ends (1 mm slots). Move the rudder and elevator to and fro
repeatedly to free up the hinge areas - take care not to separate
the control surfaces!
Fig. 19
12. Attaching the horn to the elevator
Fit the pushrod connector 25 in the outermost hole in the elevator
horn 24 and secure it with the washer 26 and nut 27. Caution:
Note the correct orientation! Tighten the nut gently, then secure it
as before with a tiny drop of cyano applied on a pin. Fit the socket-
head grubscrew 28 in the pushrod connector 25 using the allen
key 29.
Apply activator to the recess in the elevator, then glue the horn 24
in place, with the row of holes facing the hinge pivot axis.

13. Gluing the tailplane and fin together
Glue the fin 13 to the tailplane 12, taking care to set them exactly
at 90° to each other. Use a setsquare or similar tool to check
this.
Fig. 21
14. Gluing the tail assembly to the fuselage
Offer up the tailplane / fin assembly to the fuselage, and check
that the parts fit together snugly. First push the hinge 31 into the
rudder 13, then move the tail assembly forward into final position.
Check in particular that the tailplane 12 fits on the fuselage without
any gaps, and lies parallel to the wing saddle (at the front of the
fuselage). You can check this easily by placing the wing joiner
40 across the wing saddle and securing it temporarily with paper
masking tape. Now sight along the fuselage from the nose and
check that the wing joiner is parallel to the tailplane. If the parts
can easily be aligned correctly, it is safe to glue the tailplane to
the fuselage. Check once more that everything is aligned properly,
and that there are no gaps, before allowing the adhesive to cure.
If you neglect this and glue the tail in place at the wrong angle,
you will regret it for the whole life of the model.

15. Securing the elevator and rudder pushrods
Slip the plain end of the steel pushrods 42 and 43 through the
pushrod connectors 25 attached to the elevator and rudder horns.
Set the servos and control surfaces to neutral (centre) , then
tighten the socket-head grubscrews 28 to secure the pushrods.

16. Releasing the ailerons
Release the ailerons from the wing panels 8 and 9 by cutting
them free at both ends (1 mm gap). Move the ailerons to and fro
repeatedly to free up the hinge areas - take care not to separate
the control surfaces!
Fig. 24
17. Attaching the horns to the ailerons
Fit the pushrod connectors 25 in the outermost holes in the
aileron horns 24, and secure them with the washers 26 and
nuts 27. Caution: be sure to produce a handed pair (one left, one
right)! Tighten the nuts gently, then secure them as before with a
tiny drop of cyano applied on a pin. Fit the socket-head
grubscrews 28 in the pushrod connectors 25 using the allen key
29.
Apply activator to the recess in the ailerons, then glue the horns
24 in place, with the row of holes facing the hinge pivot axis.
Fig. 25
18. Installing the aileron servos
Set the servos to centre (neutral) from the transmitter. Fit the
output arms on the servos with the levers at 90° to the case
sides; note that the output arms must project beyond the case
sides. Remember once again that the servos must be "handed",
i.e. a mirror-image pair.
Check that the servos are a snug fit in the recesses in the wing
panels 8 and 9. You may have to make minor adjustments to
suit the type of servo you are using. Apply a drop of hot-melt glue
in the servo lug slots in the wing, then push the servo immediately
into the recess. Apply a drop more glue if necessary.
Fig. 25
19. Fitting the aileron pushrods
Connect the pre-formed end of the steel pushrods 30 to the
outermost hole of the servo output arms, and slip the plain ends
through the pushrod connectors 25. Set the ailerons and servos
to neutral (centre) and tighten the grubscrews 28 to secure them.
20. Deploying the aileron servo leads
Deploy the servo lead in a curve running towards the wing joiner
channel, and extend it at that point using a 600 mm extension
lead. The cables can either be soldered together permanently,
or the standard connectors can be used. A recess is provided in
the wing joiner covers 10 and 11 to accept the extension lead
connectors. Now deploy the cable in a straight line along the
front edge of the joiner channel, keeping the cable upright (on
edge). The cable must project at the wing root by about 250 mm,
so that it can be drawn into the fuselage and plugged into the
receiver when the model is assembled.
Fig. 26
21. Gluing the wing joiner covers in the wings
Carefully check that the wing joiner covers 10 and 11 are an
accurate fit in the wing panels 8 and 9. Where the cover coincides
with the servo extension lead connector, check that there is
sufficient clearance, and cut the cover away slightly if necessary.
When you are confident that the joiner covers can be installed
flush with the wing surface, they can be glued in place using
cyano. Take particular care to avoid glue getting onto the surfaces
which make contact with the wing joiner 40 when the joiner is
fitted. Don't check the wing joiner 40 for fit until you are certain
that there is no more active adhesive inside the joiner channel.
If you are not sure, spray activator inside and wait for about five
minutes. If you neglect to do this, you may find that the wings can
never be separated again.
Fig. 27
22. Checking the wing joiner
Assemble the model with the help of the wing joiner 40. Draw
the aileron cables through the opening in the fuselage and
forward (this is easy using a home-made puller made of steel
rod with a hook at one end). Check that the wing panels 8 and 9
fit correctly (without gaps) in and against the fuselage, and carry
out any minor trimming required.
Note: the wings must not be glued to the fuselage. This permits
the model to be dismantled at any time for ease of transport.
