RE: reflection flatout
Ok, Ill give it a try, i believe its the same as my flatana basicly. so you start with the foam piece with the elevator halves and stabelizer in it, take the stabelizer out but leave in the two elevator halves. then take the CF tube the give you for the horizontal tail, and put on as many clip hinges as the manual says, (should also describe the placement of two small rings somewhere. may be later though, its in the book i assure you). The rings will later border this control horn/ hinge and keep the elevator from going side to side. Now, the "fun part, put the tube against the back edge of the stabelizer, and then rotate the hinges downward into there slots(so start with the hinges above the stabelizer). Then i just tacked them all in good making sure not to bond them to the tube, i used foam safe CA(medium, with some accelerator from tower) then remove the tube. The use of the tube is to line the hinges up and make it operate freely when done. For the last part, get the piece with the elevator halves in it, late it down somewhere flat, and place the tube along the front edge, those little rings from earliergo into a little cutout on one half(dunno which side, it will tell you in the manual) then tack the tube to the elevators, then pick it up and finish gluing as not to glue it to the surface you layed it on. it will now tell you how to install a hinge/control horn piece, this is like the other hinges but goes between those two rings and it rotated into the elevator(should be bottom but may be different on the reflection, check the book). the other hinges, rudder, aileron are basicly the same so just look in the instructions for those steps, I hope this helped, if not ask some more.
