Mark the outline of the fuselage on the tailplane and fin, then remove the covering
film from the panels just inside the lines, again using a hot soldering iron to melt the
film. Run the tip of the iron along a steel straight edge before peeling the film off.
Glue the tailplane and fin in the slots in the fuselage. Align them carefully as already
described, and pin them in place to prevent them shifting while the glue dries.
Set the servos to centre by connecting the receiving system and switching the
transmitter on. Attach the aileron servos to the hardwood blocks using the screws
supplied with them: first fit the rubber grommets in the mounting lugs, then push the
metal spacers into them from the underside. Drill 1.5 mm Ø holes for the screws
beforehand, using the tubular spacers as a guide. The spacers are easier to fit if you
thread them onto a small screwdriver beforehand.
Extend the aileron servo leads using extension leads, Order No. 3935.32, and secure
each connection with a piece of heat-shrink sleeve or a drop of cyano to prevent
them working loose.
The servo leads can now be drawn through the wing panels using a length of thread:
tie the thread to the lead close to the connector, and pull the thread through so that it
exits the wing through the hole adjacent to the root rib.
The next step is to drill holes in the wing panels for the Servolocks, and screw these
items in place as shown.
Install the servos in the wing panels as shown in the photo.
The wing panels are joined by fitting them onto the metal joiner tube. The panels can
either be glued together permanently or left loose; if you take the second option, you
can separate the panels for transport. If you prefer to join the wings permanently,
apply adhesive to one root rib. Slide both wings onto the joiner tube as shown in the
photo, and tape the wing panels together at the root to prevent them shifting out of
line.
When the glue has set hard, the next step is to drill the holes in the ailerons for the
horn sockets. Fit a clevis on each threaded aileron pushrod, and connect the clevises
to the servo output arms; you can now use the line of the pushrods to mark the
correct position of the horn sockets.
There is a danger that you will drill right through the control surfaces, but you can
avoid this by fitting a suitable size of wheel collet on the drill bit and clamping it at the
correct hole depth. Remove the covering film from the ailerons at the horn position so
that the horn bases can be glued to bare wood.
Glue the horn sockets in the holes as shown in the photo.
Screw the horn lugs onto the M3 screws and set the horns to a height of about 23
mm. When the glue has set hard, connect the clevis to the servo output arm, mark
the point on the pushrod where it crosses the linkage hole in the horn lug, and form
the end into a Z-bend using special pliers, Order No. 5732. Disconnect the clevis,
