Locate the pre-cut stab cutout by feeling

along the fuse side in the area where the

stab should go.

Remove the covering over the stab slot on

both sides of the fuselage.

4.

Mark the center of the stab on both the trail-

ing and leading edge.

5.

Slide the stab into the back of the fuselage,

using the center marks as a guide. Measure

the stab, as shown, to make sure it is prop-

erly centered.

NOTE: It is also possible to see the centermarks

through the fin cutout.

6.

Turn the fuse around, and determine the

vertical centerline of the fuse top front.

Measure to the center point on the top of the

fuselage. DO NOT CENTER ON THE FIRE-

WALL THRUST LINE.

7.

Place a pushpin on the center mark and tie

a string around the pushpin.

8.

Stretch the string back until it touches the

outer tip of the stabilizer leading edge. Mark

the string and then measure back to the

other outer L.E. tip, making sure the distance

is the same.
