HINGING THE ELEVATORS.

Glue the elevator hinges in place using

the same techniques used to hinge the

INSTALLING THE HORIZONTAL

STABILIZER.

1) Using a ruler and a pen, locate the center-

line of the horizontal stabilizer, at the trailing

edge, and place a mark. Use a triangle and

extend this mark, from back to front, across

the top of the stabilizer. Also extend this

mark down the back of the trailing edge of

the stabilizer.

Draw center line.

2) Using a modeling knife, carefully remove

the covering at mounting slot of horizontal

stabilizer ( both side of fuselage).

4) With the stabilizer held rmly in place,

use a pen and draw lines onto the stabilizer

where it and the fuselage sides meet. Do this

on both the right and le sides and top and

bottom of the stabilizer.

Cut.

3) Slide the stabilizer into place in the precut

slot in the rear of the fuselage. e stabilizer

should be pushed rmly against the front of

the slot.

Pen.

5) Remove the stabilizer. Using the lines you

just drew as a guide, carefully remove the

covering from between them using a mod-

eling knife.

Remove covering.

WWW.SEAGULLMODELS.COM

When cutting through the covering to

remove it, cut with only enough pressure to

only cut through the covering itself. Cutting

into the balsa structure may weaken it.

6) Using a modeling knife, carefully remove

the covering that overlaps the stabilizer

mounting platform sides in the fuselage. Re-

move the covering from both the top and the

bottom of the platform sides.

7) When you are sure that everything is

aligned correctly, mix up a generous amount

of 30-minute epoxy. Apply a thin layer to the

top and bottom of the stabilizer mounting

area and to the stabilizer mounting platform

sides in the fuselage. Slide the stabilizer in

place and realign. Double check all of your

measurements once more before the epoxy

cures. Hold the stabilizer in place with T-pins

or masking tape and remove any excess epoxy

using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol.

8) Next assemble and install the elevator

control horn.

Start each screw partway into the holes

in the control horn, as shown. read the

screws in until the tip of each screw pro-

trudes just slightly from the bottom of the

horn base.

en hold the control horn clamping plate

in place while you nish threading the

screws all the way in. When done, you can

le or grind o the protruding sharp point

of the screws if you desire.

INSTALLING VERTICAL STABILIZER.

2) Using a modeling knife, remove the cov-

ering from over the precut hinge slot cut into

the lower rear portion of the fuselage.

1) While holding the vertical stabilizer rm-

ly in place, use a pen and draw a line on each

side of the vertical stabilizer where it meets

the top of the fuselage.

3) Next assemble and install the rudder con-

trol horn as the process for elevator control

horn.

When cutting through the covering to re-

move it, cut with only enough pressure to only

cut through the covering itself. Cutting into

the balsa structure may weaken it.

4) Slide the vertical stabilizer back in-

place. Using a triangle, check to ensure

that the vertical stabilizer is aligned 90º

to the horizontal stabilizer.

INSTALLING THE FUSELAGE SERVOS.

Because the size of servos dier, you

may need to adjust the size of the precut

opening in the mount. e notch in the

sides of the mount allow the servo lead to

pass through.

1) Install the rubber grommets and brass

collets onto the fuselage servo. Test t the

servo into the aileron servo mount.

2) Secure the servos with the screws pro-

vided with your radio system.

6) When you are sure that everything is

aligned correctly, mix a generous amount

of 30-minute epoxy. Apply a thin layer

to the mouting slot and to bottom of the

vertical stabilizer mounting area. Apply

epoxy to the bottom and top edges of the

ller block and to the lower hinge also. Set

the stabilizer in place and realign. Dou-

ble check all of your measurments once

more before the epoxy cures. Hold the
