NMPRA

The outside tube was attached to the fuselage with Shoe Goo.

The receiver antennas were taped in place in a "V" shape behind the wing.

I used threaded rods with ends to attach to ailerons.

The ailerons are large so plan on using long aileron horns to reduce the throw.

The following pictures show the installation of the horizontal tail surfaces:

Material must be removed from the fuselage to allow the installation of the aluminum joiner.

There is a front and back on the joiner. For this model the elevator horn will slope to the back of the model when installed correctly.

Verify there is no binding and you have sufficient clearance for surface movement.

Below are pictures showing the installation of the elevator pushrod:

Let the rubberized CA dry overnight.

The Red Barron is a good looking model. Here is a picture of it.

I will test in the next few weeks.

Attach the front of the mount using your preferred method.

The front of the mount was attached with screws, 5-minute epoxy, and fiberglass cloth.

Karl recommends a cooling hole for the muffler.

The pictures below show my installation:

I did some initial balancing with the receiver battery in the canopy area. This resulted in a forward CG.

I generally prefer a more rearward CG and moved the battery to underneath the servo tray.

The pictures show this installation:

After a couple days you can remove the wing. The silicone will continue to get hard for a few more days.
