8. Use a pencil to trace the outline of the fuselage

on the bottom of the stabilizer. You will only need

to mark one side of the stabilizer in this step so you

can return the stabilizer to the correct alignment on

the fuselage.

9. Remove the stabilizer from the fuselage. Apply

foam-safe CA to the fuselage where the stabilizer

fits. Using the line drawn on the bottom of the

stabilizer, reposition it on the fuselage. If the stab

saddle is flat you will still need to sand the paint off

this area before gluing the stab in place. Hold the

stabilizer tightly against the fuselage until the CA

fully cures.
