 1. Carefully remove the covering slightly below the edge
of the fin and on the lower tailpost.
Note: You will want the slot for the elevator to be on the
right side of the vertical fin and rudder during the next
step.
 2. Use 30-minute epoxy to glue the tab from the fin into
the stabilizer. Check that the fin and stabilizer are square
while the epoxy cures.
Hint: Rest the stabilizer on two coffee cups. This will
suspend the assembly and keep the tail wheel from
causing any issues with keeping things square.
