1-Depending on the position of the linkage, determine the location of aileron control horn.
The horn holes must be perfectly aligned with the axis of articulation.
2-Mark the position of the “foot” of the horn on the aileron. Then, with the drill, make the 2 holes.
3-Install the aileron control horn as shown.

Note: you can use 2x8mm self tapping screws to fix the
plastic cover if possible late you can use retract landing gear Use a small glue faucet, Apply the thin CA glue on
the horizontal stabilizer where it contacts the fuselage
(both the top and bottom sides),and into the slot of the
fuselage as show.
Step 10:1
When you are satisfied with the alignment,
use a pencil to trace around the top and bottom
of the horizontal stabilizer where the horizontal stabilizer
meet the fuselage.
Trial fit the horizontal stabilizer in place .
Be cautious not to cut into the wood,
this will weaken the structure.
Cut away only the covering both

When you insert the horizontal stabilizer into
the slot on the fuselage, if necessary, use
sander to widen the slot to make this easier.
Remove the horizontal stabilizer from the fuselage.
Using the sharp hobby knife, carefully cut away the
covering inside the lines which were marked above.
Securely glue together. If coming off during flight,
you lose control of your air plane.

Carefully slide the wing halves together, ensuring that they
are accurately aligned.
Firmly press the two halves together, allowing the excess
epoxy to run out.
Note: The two wing halves roots must fit together perfectly.
Clear off the excess epoxy.
IMPORTANT:
Please do not clean off the excess epoxy on the
wing with strong solvent or pure alcohol, only use kerosene to
keep the colour of your model not fade.
Hold the wing halves together with paper
clamp and rubber band.

- Trial fit each part before gluing . Be certain that there are no gaps.
If the parts will join, but with a gaps, sand or trim the parts a little at
a time until the parts meet exactly with no gaps.
- Check for the correct dihedral angle
Before gluing:
- Draw the center line on the wing joiner.
Coat one half of the dihedral brace with
epoxy up to the center line.

This model is highly pre-fabricated and can be built in a very short time. However, the work which you
have to carry out is important and must be done carefully.
The model will only be strong and fly well if you complete your tasks competently - so please work
slowly, accurately and check every joints, maybe apply more glue to be safe.
