ASSEMBLE THE FUSELAGE
Install the Horizontal and
Vertical Stabilizer
❏
1. Carefully fl ex the elevator up and down several times to
loosen the hinge.
❏
2. Use a straightedge and a hobby blade to fi nish cuttting
out the slot in the horizontal stabilizer (stab) for the vertical
stabilizer (fi n).
❏ 3. Test fi t the fi n into the stab. Lightly spray the parts where
they fi t together with a mist of CA accelerator and allow to dry
for about 30 seconds to a minute. This “priming” procedure will
allow the CA to harden quickly when gluing the parts together.
Using a builder’s square to make sure the fi n and stab are
perpendicular, use a small amount of thin, foam-safe CA
to glue them together—do not saturate the foam or build up
large fi llets of glue—this could damage the foam and will add
unnecessary weight!
❏ 4. Cut the spacers from the slot on both sides and on the
top of the fuselage for the fi n and stab.
