Step 1

Insert the vertical fin in the fuselage. Mark

the edges using a pen.
Note that the vertical fin fits tightly in the

fuselage. If you have any problem dry fitting

the covering on the vertical fin, DO NOT

force it in as you may break the fuselage

opening. Remove some covering on the

conservative side until the vertical fin fits in

the fuselage. You can use pictures in Step 2

as reference.

Step 2

Remove the vertical fin and covering 1/8 inch

inside the lines you marked. Make sure not

to scar the vertical fin. Use a new blade and

change as needed. Then go over the edges

with a heating iron.
If you scar the balsa, go over it with thin CA

before final assembly.
Note the measurements shown in the

following pictures are approximate. Make sure

to go by your markings.
