Procedure 3
1.Install the wing onto the fuselage and fasten it
with (M3x30mm) screw.
1.At the center position of the elevator, use a thin
marker pen and draw a vertical line with a ruler.
Make sure distance "a" is equal to "b".
2.Install the elevator to the fuselage. Look through the
rudder gap and align the vertical line (procedure 1a) in
the gap. Cut off the covering material on the elevator
for installation in next step.
Carefully use knife at the joining edge of the elevator
and fuselage. Do not cut into the balsa wood!

Install the main wing on the fuselage then install the rudder fin
on the fuselage for reference. Put the model on your working
table and look from the tail side as graphic shows. You must
adjust the elevator with a pin or other object to make both sides
even. The distance at "a" should be equal to "b" as graphic shows.
The angle between the rudder and elevator must be 90 degrees.
Leave some space for the “U” shaped elevator connecting wire.
Once it is perfectly aligned,use CA to hold the elevator on fuselage.
Use a knife to carefully remove the covering material on the contact
surface between the rudder and fuselage. Use CA on the contact
surface between the rudder and fuselage. Slide in the "U" shaped
elevator connecting wire into the gap in previous step. Apply a
thin layer of epoxy on the tip of the “U” shaped wire and the cove at
elevator control surface as you did in the wing and aileron section.
