Elevator servo tray installation

For balance reasons, the dual JR DS3421SA elevator servos are located at the rear canopy area. I am using the Central Hobbies DEPS 0.07" CF rods. I have substituted the CST teflon tubes to reduce friction. Before you cut into the fuselage, it is best to fit up the stab with your control horns. I will be using the Central Hobbies Chip Hyde control horns. From the outside of the fuse mark the locations of the servo arms and where the CF rod will exit the fuse. Central Hobbies has a nice set of instructions to use as a go by. For fuse support bulkheads, I use 3/4" x 3/8" light balsa. Cut the fuse sides where the rod exits and align the rods with the servo. Keep everything straight. You do not want any bends in the CF rods. After everything is trial fit, I glue in the supports with 30 min epoxy and microbaloon and milled figerglass. The servo tray was installed with Gorilla glue.
