fuselage onto both sides of the fin. Remove the covering
from the bottom of the fin using the same technique used
for the stabilizer. Position the fin back onto the fuselage.

and stabilizer. Lightly sand the bottom of the fin until the
alignment is correct. Use 30-minute epoxy to glue the fin
to the fuselage. Check the alignment to make sure it does
not change position during the curing process.
