Step 5. With the horizontal stabilizer still attached, make sure it
is parallel to the main wing as shown in the illustration below.
If needed, make adjustments by sanding the stab saddle until
the wing and stab are aligned parallel to each other.

Step 6. Remove the horizontal stabilizer from the tail boom.
Carefully remove the covering 1/16" inside the lines drawn in
Step 4 using a sharp hobby knife. Use caution and only cut
through the covering and not into the stabilizer itself, as doing
so will weaken the structure.

Step 7. Using 30-minute epoxy, glue the horizontal stabilizer to
the tail boom. Use the lines drawn in Step 4 to realign the
stabilizer. Wipe away excess epoxy using rubbing alcohol and
a paper towel. Re-check the alignment with the main wing and
allow the epoxy to cure before proceeding to Step 8.

Step 8. Slide the vertical fin and rudder assembly into the slot
at the rear of the tail boom. The hinge line should be even with
the back of the tail boom as shown. Also check that there is no
gap between the fin and tail boom.

Step 9. Using a felt-tipped pen, mark the rear portion of the fin
and the forward portion of the boom.
