TAIL ASSEMBLY

1.

Set your flat warp-free pinning board on

work bench.

Tape Eagle plan so stabilizer (stab) is in

position over pinning board.

Tape a sheet of wax paper or plastic

kitchen wrap over stab area to prevent
gluing parts to the plan as you build.

2.

Carefully position die-cut leading and

trailing edge joiners and center platform
and pin in place over the plan. Glue these
parts together using Super Jet (Thick
C.A.).

4.

From 1/8" x 1/4" strip balsa, cut all trusses to

size over plan. Working one-at-a-time, trim to
fit well -don't force into place. Glue in place.

Jet set makes all brands of CA glue dry faster. Use
Jet Set on corner joints for extra-strong fillets.

Glue gussets in place.

Let dry thoroughly.
