3. Glue the stab to the fi n, making sure the two are

perpendicular to each other.

4. Glue the elevator joiner into position, making sure the

elevators are parallel with each other—in the illustration, two
balsa sticks were used to align the elevators while glue on
the joiner dried.

5. To aid in stab alignment in the next step it will be helpful

to tape the elevators and rudder centered with the stab and fi n.

6. Mount the wing to the fuselage and test-fi t the stab/

fi n assembly into the slot in the back of the fuselage boom.

View the model from behind, checking to see if the stab is

parallel with the wing (the kit box top or bottom serves as a
handy stand).

7. If necessary, sand a slight bevel to the appropriate side

of the base of the fi n. Allow it to tilt and bring the assembly
into alignment with the wing.

8. Once alignment is achieved, glue the assembly into

position. Use strategically positioned weights to hold the stab
in alignment with the wing until the glue dries.
