Start by sliding the three tail control rod guides (12) on the
tail boom. In some cases these are very tight and you need to
sand the inside of the guides before they will slide. From the
front of the tail boom, the first guide will be about 4 1/3"
(or 11cm). At this time you will just get them in about the right
location. Later you need to position the front one so that with
the tail control coupler all the way back, the guide will be a 1/4"
behind that and rotated to provide low drag to the tail control
rod (14). You need the front guide close so that it keeps the
coupler from touching the tail boom. Next install the horizontal
mount (9) and fin (8). Now make the long tail control link (14)
by installing the link (15). Slide the rod through the back
guide, then middle, and then the front guide. Rotate the guides
to get the rod straight. Later after you get the guides in the
best position to allow low resistance, then put a drop of CA
around the edge of the guides to prevent them from moving.
For the next part, you need to epoxy the ends (18) in the tubes (20)
and secure them each with a screw (19).
