12. Re-install the landing gear to the wing. You should

have been doing both of the landing gear but if you have
only completed one, go back and do the remaining one.

Did you know…It was not uncommon for Art to fly with his
dog named “Aileron!”

We have included a handy fuselage stand that easily

installs to the fuselage with two 1/4 -20 nylon wing bolts. You
will find it useful when working with the model on your work
bench as well as for transporting the model to the field.
During the assembly of the fuselage it will be useful while
installing the stab and elevators as well as the engine and
the cowl. Feel free to use it throughout the remaining steps
of the building process as needed.

1. Temporarily install the stab halves onto the aluminum

stab joiner tubes. Insert three hinges into the slots in each
half of the stab. Note: The inboard hinges can only be
inserted until they make contact with the stab joiner tube in
the stab. The outboard hinge should be positioned with a
T-pin to keep it centered.

2. Examine the elevators. Notice that a hardwood plate is

located on one side of both elevators. This is the bottom of
the elevator. Install the elevators to the stab using the same
procedure used for mounting the ailerons to the wing.
