1. Remove the elevators and elevator joiner wire

from the stabilizer.

2. Place the elevator joiner wire in the slot in the

fuselage for the stabilizer.

3. Slide the stabilizer into the slot in the fuselage.

Measure the distance from each stabilizer tip to

each wing tip. The measurements must be equal.

If necessary, adjust the position of the stabilizer to

correct for the alignment.

4. Stand back and view the model from the rear.

The wing and stabilizer must be parallel to each

other. Lightly sand the opening in the fuselage for

the stabilizer to correct for any alignment issues.

5. After aligning the stabilizer to the wing, use

medium CA to glue the stabilizer in place. Double

check the alignment one last time before the CA fully

cures. Once the CA cures, snap the joiner wire back

into the bracket at the trailing edge of the stabilizer.

6. Apply thin CA to each side of the hinge, as well

as to the elevator joiner wire.
