2. Test fit the ventral fin in the slot on the bottom of

the fuselage. The taller portion of the fin will face

to the front of the fuselage and the decal will face

to the wing tip. Once satisfied with the fit remove

the fin from the fuselage. Mix a small amount of

6-minute epoxy. Apply the epoxy in the slot and

insert the ventral fin in the slot. Allow the epoxy to

fully cure before proceeding to the fin installation.

3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 to install the remaining

ventral fin on the bottom of the fuselage.
