 3. Slide the wing so it fits tightly against the
fuselage as shown.
 4. Place the remaining wing panel into position.
 5. Separate the elevator and stabilizer. The hinges
have been pre-glued into the elevator, so check
them, but do not attempt to remove them.
 6. Slide the elevator into the slot at the rear of the
fuselage. Once in position, slide the stabilizer as far
forward in the slot as possible. The notches in the
stabilizer will key into the fuselage.
It is important to check the alignment of the
stabilizer in relationship to the wing. Not doing
so may cause your airplane to require excessive
amounts of trim to correct for poor alignment,
resulting in poor flight performance.
 7. Use a ruler to make sure the stabilizer is centered
in the fuselage.
 8. Use a ruler to measure from the wing tip to the
stabilizer tip. This measurement must be the same
for both sides. If not, reposition the stabilizer so that
both measurement from steps 7 and 8 match.
 9. The final step is to check that the stabilizer is
aligned with the wing. Stand back 8–10 feet (2–3
meters) and view the aircraft from the rear. If the
alignment is off, lightly sand the stabilizer saddle to
correct the alignment.
