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.
6.
When satisfied with the fit, draw lines on the
fuse and stab, on both sides of the fin, show-
ing its location.
5.
Remount the fin on the fuse and, using a 90º
triangle, make sure the fin is perpendicular to
the stab.
3.
Slide the fin mounting posts into the top of
the fuselage.
Check the fit. The fin should fit easily into
each slot and should stand upright by itself.
Enlarge the holes, if necessary.
2.
Using a hobby knife remove the covering from
the slot on top of the fuse where the fin fits.
4.
As shown above, remove enough wood on the
fin post to allow for the elevator wire clearance.
Do not remove more than needed for elevator
movement, as taking too much will weaken the
structure.
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 tri-
angle in position until the epoxy is thor-
oughly dry. Make sure not to glue the tri-
angle!
Remove wood to clear
elevator connector rod.
