2. Use a measuring tape to measure the distance from the
tip of the black, anti-glare panel at the front of the fuselage
back to the tip of both sides of the stab. Adjust the stab until
the measurements on both sides are equal and the stab
is centered.
❏
3. Double- and triple-check the stab alignment to make
sure it is parallel with the wing and square with the fuselage.
Carefully glue the top of the stab to the fuselage with thin CA—
apply only enough CA to do the job. Otherwise, excess CA
may not harden and could run out onto the fuselage when
you turn it over. Allow the CA to fully harden—if you want
to use CA accelerator apply only a fi ne mist from about 8"
[200mm] away.
❏
4. Turn the fuselage over and glue in the bottom of the
stab with thin CA—again, don’t use too much!
❏
5. After the thin CA has hardened, follow with a very thin
fi llet of medium CA all the way around both sides.
Install the Elevators
❏
1. Insert a pin through the middle of each of the four
elevator hinges. Temporarily join the elevators to the stab
with the hinges, but do not glue.

2. Cut the mounting plate off both elevator control
horns, then enlarge the outer pushrod hole in the horns
with a #55 (.052" [1.3mm]) drill or a hobby knife. If you use a
hobby knife, test fi t the pushrod into the holes as you proceed
so you don’t over enlarge them—otherwise there will be
free play.
