TAIL ASSEMBLY

STAB INSTALLATION

Collect the following parts:

(1) Stabilizer
(1) Wing/fuse assembly

Place a piece of masking tape on each wing
tip, just above the aileron hinge line, as
shown above.

Measuring out from the center joint of the
wing,make a mark on the tape at 35-1/2".
Repeat for the other side of the wing

Place two strips of masking tape along the
edge of the stab, next to the outer stab tips
and above the hinge line.

Measure the total length of the stab along the
hinge line and locate the centerline with a
mark.

Measure 13-1/2” out from the centerline and
make a mark on the masking tape on both
the left and the right side of the stabilizer.

From the center point on the stab, draw a ver-
tical line up to the top of the stab.

Place masking tape on the top of the fuse,
just in front of the stab.

Measure and mark the centerpoint on the
tape.

Mark a centerline on the fuselage, just behind
the wing.

Place a piece of masking tape along the top
of the fuselage, as shown, and draw a line
from the center mark in front of the stab up to
the center mark below the wing.

Place the stab on the platform with the cen-
ter of the stab lined up with the centerpoint
on the fuse.

Measuring from the mark on each wing tip to
the mark on the stab tip, make sure the dis-
tance "X" on the right side is the same as the
distance on the left side.

Check to see that the stab is level (parallel)
with the wing. If necessary, insert paper strip
shims to achieve proper alignment.
