 3. Slide the micro control horn backplate on the tab
from the control horn. It will ratchet down and lock
into position. Slide the backplate so it holds the
control horn tightly in position.
 4. Apply 2–3 drops of foam-safe CA to the joint
between the backplate and control horn to keep it
secure for the life of your model.
 5. Position the stabilizer on the fuselage as shown.
Make sure to center the stabilizer left-to-right on the
fuselage. Use a T-pin at the back of the stabilizer to
hold it in position for the following step.
 6. Use a ruler to measure from a point center at
the front of the fuselage to each of the tips of the
stabilizer. The measurements must be equal for the
best performance from your model. Use a second
T-pin to keep the stabilizer in position for the
following step.
 7. With the fuselage resting flat on your work
surface, check to verify the stabilizer is parallel
to the work surface. Lightly sand the area of the
fuselage where the stabilizer rests to correct any
alignment problems.
