Default RE: Pentathlon Kit Build

This plane will be using a single elevator servo and a DEPS. Cross braces are included that will properly spread the pushrods in a constant radius from the elev. servo to the tail.

The height of the elevator horn (3/4" long horns will be used) is marked by temporarily placing the stab root rib onto the stab tubes. If using a DEPS, you will have to choose your stab height position now. This can be changed later if using servos in the stabs.

I taped a string in place from the horn position to the approximate elevator servo arm position. Mark the height at which the string passes each former. This is where each DEPS support will be glued.
