Tail Construction
Locate the horizontal stabilizer,
elevator, fin & rudder. Notice that
the hinges are installed but not
glued.
Remove the rudder from the
fin. At the rear bottom edge if the
fin, it is necessary to remove the
corner with a razor blade to allow
clearance for the elevator. ¼ inch in
and ¼ inch up is enough.
Next, with a sharp #11 Xacto
Blade, remove the covering from the
bottom of the fin.
Locate the fuselage and the
stabilizer. Use masking tape on top
of the stab and measure from each
tip to locate the centerline of the
stab. Place the stab on top of the
fuselage and center it using the
marks on the masking tape as a
guide. Check the alignment, and
temporarily tape it in place with
masking tape. The trailing edge of
the stab should be inset ¼” from
the rear of the fuselage.
