 4. Insert the vertical fin into the pocket on the top of
the fuselage. Stand 6–8 feet (3–4 meters) from the
rear of the airframe. Check that the angle between
the wing panels and fin are equal. The position of
the fin can be moved to correct for any alignment
issues. Once satisfied with the fit, remove the fin
from the fuselage. Prepare 1/4-ounce (10cc) of
6-minute epoxy and brush a light coating on the
fin and in the pocket on the fuselage where they
contact each other. Insert the fin back into the
pocket and check the alignment again. As the
epoxy cures, continue to check the alignment of the
fin to the wing until the epoxy has fully cured.
