of the tailplane.
Glue the elevator horn 36 in the recess in the elevator using Za-
cki ELAPOR® or hot-melt adhesive. Take care to position it the
right way round! Fit a grubscrew 28 in one of the swivel pushrod
connectors 29, then insert the pushrod connector in the outermost
holes in the elevator horn.
Figs. 13, 14 and 15
2.11 Completing the fin
Cautiously work the moulded-in hinge line of the fin / rudder 10
to and free to render it free-moving. Do not separate the rudder
under any circumstances!
Press the nut 25 into the opening in the fin support 31, and secure
it with a small drop of hot-melt glue or Zacki ELAPOR®. Ensure
that no adhesive runs into the threaded part of the nut. Check that
the fin support 31 fits flush in the appropriate opening in the fin,
and carry out any minor trimming required. Glue the fin support
in place. Take particular to align these parts accurately! When
you are satisfied, complete the fin by gluing the fin fairing 11 in
place as shown.
Now check that the bottom rudder hinge 35 is an easy sliding fit
in the recess at the bottom of the rudder; make any minor adjust-
ments required, then glue the bottom rudder hinge to the rudder.
Fit a grubscrew 28 into one of the swivel pushrod connectors 29,
and snap the swivel pushrod connector into the holes in the horn,
which is an integral part of the hinge. Finally glue the second fin
end-piece 38 to the bottom of the fin.
Figs. 16 and 17
2.12 Installing the tailplane and fin
First push the fin into the tailplane, allowing the retainers to snap
into place. Next place the tailplane on the fuselage and allow the
small retainers to snap into place in turn, at the same time fitting
the bottom rudder hinge onto its counterpart in the fuselage. The
tail assembly can now be fixed to the fuselage by inserting the
plastic screw 26 from the underside and tightening it carefully.
Please note that the sole purpose of the snap-retainers used on
the tail is to help you assemble the model, and prevent the parts
twisting out of alignment. It is the plastic screw 26 which holds
them in place, so NEVER fly the model without the screw fitted!
Figs. 18 and 19
2.13 Completing the elevator and rudder linkages
Slip the end of the steel pushrods through the swivel pushrod
connectors. Set the control surfaces to neutral (centre), and tighten
the grubscrews in the pushrod connectors. Tighten them firmly,
but don't over-tighten them.
Figs. 20 and 21
2.14 Completing the canopy
Glue the canopy finger-grip 40 in the canopy 6 from the underside
using hot-melt glue. Now offer up the two latch tongues 23 to the
finger-grip, and position them carefully. Remove them again, ap-
ply hot-melt glue to the slots, then quickly push the latch tongues
into the slots in the canopy. Immediately place the canopy on the
fuselage, and allow the latch tongues to engage in the latches.
Without delay, check that the canopy is aligned correctly on the
fuselage. Wait a few minutes for the glue to cool, then cautiously
open the canopy.

3. COMPLETING THE WINGS
The steps described in section 3 must be carried out for both wing
panels 7 and 8.
3.1 Installing the aileron spars
Temporarily lay the aileron spar 53 in the channel in the aileron;
check that it reaches right to the bottom of the channel. When
you are satisfied, glue the aileron spar in place. Take care not to
allow glue onto the area of the spar where the aileron horn will
be located later.
Fig. 23
3.2 Installing the aileron horns, freeing the ailerons
Glue the aileron horn 37 in the recess in the aileron using Zacki
ELAPOR® or hot-melt glue (take care to position them the right
way round). Cut away the foam at both ends of the aileron to free
it from the wing, leaving a gap about 1 mm wide at both ends.
Cautiously work the integral hinge line to and fro to render it
free-moving. Do not separate the aileron under any circumstan-
ces! Fit a grubscrew 28 in one of the remaining swivel pushrod
connectors 29, then snap the pushrod connector into the outermost
holes in the aileron horn.
Figs. 24 and 25
3.3 Preparing the aileron servos (with mechanical aileron
differential)
Remove the output arm from the aileron servo, and set it to centre
(neutral) from the transmitter. The output arm should now be fitted
on the servo output shaft at the angle shown in Fig. 26. Don't
forget the retaining screw!
Fig. 26
3.4 Installing the aileron servos
Check that the servo fits snugly in the aileron well. Apply a drop
of hot-melt glue to the two slots in the wing for the servo mounting
lugs, then immediately press the servo into the recess. You may
need to apply a little more adhesive afterwards.
Now connect the pre-formed end of the aileron pushrod to the
innermost hole of the servo output arm. The plain section of the
pushrod should face the wingtip. Slip the aileron pushrod through
the swivel pushrod connector, and set the aileron to neutral (cen-
tre). Tighten the grubscrew firmly, but don't over-tighten it. Finally
fix the aileron servo fairing (left: 43, right: 44) in place using a
little glue.
Figs. 27, 28 and 29
3.5 Deploying the aileron servo leads
Extend each aileron servo lead by connecting it to a 150 mm
servo extension lead (# 8 5019). Lay the servo leads in the cable
channels, and apply adhesive tape over the top to seal the chan-
nels. The plastic sleeves 46 can now be glued in the channels
provided for them. The sleeves hold the cables flat at the bottom
of the channels. Don't glue the cables themselves. Check that the
orientation of the cable allows it to fit in the socket in the fuselage
directly, without twisting the wires.
Fig. 30
3.6 Fitting the spar end-pieces
Glue the spar end-pieces 45 into both ends of the GRP spar 12,
flush with the end.

4. INSTALLING THE MOTOR SYSTEM AND RECEIVER
The recommended arrangement of the individual components
which make up the receiving system and power system is also
shown in the illustration on the back of the packaging.
4.1 Installing the EasyGlider 4 power set (# 33 2672)
Attach the motor to the motor mount 39 using the screws and
washers supplied (see Fig. 32). The motor should be installed
with the three wires at the bottom. Connect the speed controller
to the motor, and check from the transmitter that it rotates in the
correct direction (WITHOUT the propeller!): when you look at the
motor from the front, the propeller shaft must rotate anti-clockwise.
If that is not the case, swap over any two of the three motor wires.
