23. Tem porarily install the horizontal stabilizer.
Y ou m ay need to sand the opening slightly to be
able to slide it in, but be careful to keep the
stabilizer aligned parallel to the w ing.
24. A lign the stabilizer by m easuring from each side
to the center and equalizing the distance, then
m easure from the stabilizer tips to the trailing
edge of the w ing and set each side equal.
25. M ark the joint w ith a felt m arker on the top and
bottom . Slide the stabilizer back out, then
rem ove the covering from inside the m arks, 1/8”
inside the lines you m arked. U se a sharp hobby
blade to cut the covering. Be very careful to
not cut the balsa under the covering.
Slide the stabilizer back in the fuselage just until
the exposed balsa is at the tail opening. A pply a
thin coat of 30 m inute epoxy to the exposed
balsa, then slide the stabilizer back in the tail.
Re-align the stabilizer w ith the m arks you m ade
earlier and double check your m easurem ents to
the w ing from your building surface. W ipe off
any excess glue w ith alcohol and a paper tow el.
Let set until cured.
26. Tem porarily install the vertical stabilizer in the
horizontal slot at the rear of the fuse. M ark the
joint w ith a felt tip m arker. M ake sure the
stabilizer is aligned at 90
° to the horizontal
stabilizer, then rem ove the stabilizer and rem ove
the covering as w as done w ith the horizontal
stabilizer.
27. Test fit the sm all horizontal stab spacer block in
the space behind the stab.
28. Spread som e epoxy on the spacer block and
insert in the rear of the fuse. Proceed to the
next step before the epoxy cures.
29. Put som e 30 m inute epoxy in the slot and on the
exposed balsa on the stabilizer, then slide
together. Check that it is at 90
° to the horizontal
stabilizer. W ipe off any excess glue w ith alcohol
