TAKING CARE NOT TO CUT INTO THE
WOOD STRUCTURE UNDERNEATH, and
working inside the drawn lines, carefully
remove the covering where the fin mounts on
the fuse and stab.
5. Remount the fin on the fuse and, using a 90º
triangle, make sure the fin is perpendicular to
the stab.
When satisfied with the fit, remove fin and
mix up a couple of spoonfuls of epoxy.
Apply a THIN, even coat of epoxy on the bot-
tom of the fin and along both sides of the fin
mounting posts. Avoid too much glue, which
will squeeze out from underneath the fin.
Mount the fin on the fuse and place the trian-
gle against the fin to make sure it is perpen-
dicular.
Use masking tape to secure the fin and trian-
gle in position until the epoxy is thoroughly
dry. Make sure not to glue the triangle!
4. Also remove the covering on the bottom por-
tion of the fin where it fits into the fuselage.
