blind nuts into the landing gear plate. Glue them in
place with thin CA.
MOUNT THE TAIL
❏ 1. Sand a flat on the leading edge of the stab so
the stab fits flush against bulkhead 7.
❏ 2. Place the stab on the fuselage and align it with
the wing and centerline of the fuselage. Use the
same string technique that you used for aligning
the wing. Be sure that the stab aligns with the wing
horizontally as well. When satisfied with the fit and
alignment, glue the stab to the fuselage with
30-minute epoxy.
❏ 3. Cut the 1/2" x 12" balsa triangle stock in half,
making two 6" pieces. Glue them to the fuse and
the bottom of the stab.
❏ 4. Using a 90 degree triangle, align the fin
vertically. Be sure that the fin is also aligned with
the centerline of the fuselage. Glue the fin in place
with 30-minute epoxy.
❏ 5. Using the template provided on the plans, cut
the dorsal fin from leftover 3/8" balsa. Round the
leading edge of the dorsal fin. Glue it in place.
