If exposed to direct sunlight and/or heat, wrinkels can appear. Storing the
model in a cool place will let the wrinkles disappear. Otherwise, remove
wrinkles in covering film with a hair dryer, starting with
low temperature. You can fix the corners by using a hot iron.

of the nose gear mount, the end of the plastic
tube fits across the front of the fire-wall. The
other end of the plastic tube leads to where the
nose gear servo arm will be.
2- Hold the end of the plastic tube firmly to
fire-wall with thin CA glue.
1- Thread one end with the Z bend of the nose gear push rod into the hole
on the nose gear control horn (Step 1).
2- Thread the other end of the nose gear push rod into the white plastic.
3- Put the nose gear control horn in place with the screw hole facing foward
(Step 2).

When putting the plastic gear cover on the aluminum landing gear,
you have to separate the two pieces of plastic gear cover a litter on
the narrow end (Step 1), once it is in place, you will glue the
separated part with thin CA glue (Step 2).

Carefully,push the horizontal stabilizer into the slot on the
fuselage as show.
Pull the left and right elevator out of the horizontal
stabilizer (not glue yet).
Using a sharp hobby knife, carefully cut away
the covering around of all slots for the horizontal
stabilizer and vertical fin installation.
you may need to widen the slot a little more so
that pushing the horizontal stabilizer into the
fuselage is not too difficult.
NOTE:
Check the alignment of the horizontal stabilizer by measuring
from a fixed point along the center line of the fuselage to the
leading edge on each side of the horizontal stabilizer.
The distance must be equal on both sides .
If not, adjust the stabilizer until the measurements are the same.

Horizontal stabilizer Horizontal stabilizer
When viewing visually from the back of the fuselage, the aluminum wing joiner should
be parallel to the horizontal stabilizer.
When you are satisfied with the alignment, use a pencil to trace around the top and bottom
of the stabilizer where it meets the fuselage.
Remove the horizontal stabilizer
from the fuselage. Using a straight edge
and a sharp hobby knife, carefully cut away
the covering inside the lines which were marked
above. Be cautious not to cut into the wood-this
will weaken the structure.
! Securely glue together. If coming off during fly,
you lose control of your air plane.
Apply CA glue

(thin CA)
Apply thin CA glue into the slot
where the fuselage meet the
horizontal stabilizer.
Install the horizontal stabilizer onto the fuselage and adjust the alignment as described in step 5 and 6.
Note: it is important to ensure that the horizontal stabilizer is also level in regards to the fuselage.
Apply the thin CA along the area where the covering was removed in the previous step and to the
fuselage where the horizontal stabilizer mounts .
