Ok let's add the rest of the control surface connections.
First pass push rods through the side slits on the fuselage, and line the ends up with the elevator and rudder. I didn't cut the slits for the control horns , but trust you'll manage. One thing to note though is the high difference of the slits on the fuselage the one closer to the tail boom is meant to be used for the elevator and the other for the rudder. Now connect the servos on the other side of the push rods pull out, put glue and place back inside making sure your control surface is levelled using a ruler.
Once done cut a popsicle stick in half and glue on the top side of the rudder for extra strength.
Screw on the motor to the power pod without passing the wire through the hole into the power pod, instead leave them hanging off the top. If you plan on using a C pack motor note to cut the power pod length down using the template in the original plans or just cut it out and build a fresh dedicated power pod. Once done connect the ESC to the motor, check that the motor is spinning in the right direction and tape the connections to again just for extra security. Now slide the ESC through the top passing that goes all the way through to the fuselage and place the power pod on the inner power pod holder that we've built in the first steps, to secure the power pod in run a BBQ skewer through the holes on the cowl.
