I bought it from a seller called NOVA HOBBY, the brand is Lai Shing. The directions to putting this sucker together might as well be in Chinese and written on a napkin. Out of 15 steps I can figure out all but 14 and 15 and its the hooking up the servos to the tail rudders. No more screws left just a couple of pieces of plastic that I have no clue how to hook up.
Anyone with one of these little Electric cubs have a photo of the tailfin area so I can get some idea how to rig this? Id love to see if this sucker flies, im doubting that even.
Dont ever buy from these guys! They even sent me a USED remote in the "new box". Crap.

Not really sure what to offer for help. You said "rudders" (plural) in your post. A Cub has only one rudder. Do you mean elevator? There are two halves.

The plastic pieces you are talking about go over the control horns after you have inserted them thru the control surface. look at them carfuly they have a pointed edge on them that catches the teeth on the horn. make sure the pointed edge is down. you will have to use a hoby knife or razor blade to lightly open the hole for the control horn to go thru. they go in from under the elevator and looking from the back of the plane from the right of the stablizer. Hint to you, the first thing I did when i opened the box was throw away all the screws and use standard survo mounting screws for all but the tail fin. you will have to use the 2 stianles screws as they are just the right size to go thru the holes.

BUT, that one bargain, is like a gambling win, forcing you to try again and loose repeatedly... sigh.
