❑
Carefully push the vertical tail into the slot in the top of
the fuselage, making sure that the two pieces of protective
backing that you pulled back and creased are sticking out
between the vertical tail and the fuselage.
❑
Push the vertical tail into position. When aligned
properly, the vertical tail should be pushed forward as far
as possible and it should be pushed down firmly against the
top of the horizontal tail.
❑
Gently pull out, then back on each piece of protective
backing, to remove it from the double-sided tape. After
removing the protective backing, lightly press the sides of
the fuselage against the vertical tail.
❑
While holding the vertical tail in place and aligned,
secure it to the fuselage by threading four small screws
through the pre-drilled holes in the fuselage and into the
vertical tail.

Two screws should be installed on each
side. Tighten the screws gently. Overtightening them
can strip the foam and plastic.
If you have a problem threading the screws
into the foam, carefully use a push-pin to make a pilot
hole in the foam for each of the screws.
PRO TIP
STEP 4: CONNECTING THE PUSHROD WIRES
PRO TIP
❑
Carefully snap the plastic clevis on the pushrod wire into
the
outermost hole
in the horizontal tail control horn.
We suggest installing the clevis into the
outermost hole in the control horn for your first few flights.
This will make it easier to control the airplane. Once
you're proficient at flying the airplane, you can move
the pushrod wire into the middle or inner hole to increase
the control response.

When you snap the plastic clevises into the plastic control horns in the next two procedures, the
elevator and rudder (control surfaces on the back of the horizontal tail and the vertical tail) might not be centered. That's
okay for now. We'll center them by adjusting the clevises when we test the radio system later.
