4, Break the assembly off the stab saddle and cut the
parts apart Save the shaped fin fillets for later.
reference), and block up the tips until the wing is level.
5. Lay the stab in position on the stab saddle with the
center point lined up with the tail end of the fuselage. If the
stab protrudes beyond the end of the fuselage, sand a little off
the front of the stab until it fits. Carefully check the stab
alignment by measuring down from the tips to a flat surface,
and from the stab tips to the wing tips (or to a point on the
center of the fuse near the nose). Sand the stab saddle (a little
at a time!) until the stab rests in proper alignment. With the
stab in alignment, make a mark on the front of the stab and a
corresponding mark on the back ofF-6A, which will be used
for rapid alignment when gluing.
6. Mix up a batch of 5-minute or 30-minute epoxy and
apply it to the stab saddle. Press the stab into position and
hold or pin in proper alignment until the glue has firmly
set. Wipe off any excess epoxy before it sets up.
4. Temporarily mount the wing in the saddle (for

7. From the 3/8" balsa triangle supplied, cut and se-
curely glue fillets under the stab, at the stab/fuse joint
1. Make sure the stab base is securely glued to the fuse
sides, then lightly sand the stab saddle area smooth with a T-
bar or sanding block.
8. Trial fit the fin on the stab. The fin trailing edge
must line up with the aft end of the fuselage. If the fin
protrudes too far aft, sand a small amount off the front of the
fin.
2. Find the 3/8" x 11/16" x 1-3/8" balsa stab filler
block and glue it to the stab saddle and the back ofF-6A. Sand
off the ends flush with the fuse sides.
9. Carefully align the fin on the stab. The fin must be
positioned perpendicular to the stab and must line up with
the fuselage centerline EXACTLY! Securely glue the fin in
place.
3. Accurately measure the trailing edge of the stabi-
lizer and mark the center point
10. Now securely glue the fin fillets (you previously
shaped these) in place on both sides of the fin.
