2. Trim the two bolt holes in the belly pan. Using 6-minute
epoxy, glue the belly pan to the wing, being careful not to
glue the belly pan or wing to the fuse. Tape the belly pan to
the wing until the epoxy has cured. NOTE: Position the belly
pan as far aft as possible.
❏
3. Remove the two 1/4-20 x 2" [51mm] nylon bolts.
Remove the wing. Note: The wing might press out of the
fuse a little hard the first few times.
❏
1. Cut the covering from the slots in the fuse for the stab
and fin.
❏
2. Fit the stab into the fuse. Center the trailing edge by taking
accurate measurements as shown in “X” = “X” in the sketch.
❏
3. With the wing mounted to the fuse. Place the model in
a building stand (such as a Robart Super Stand II,
ROBP1402). Stand five to ten feet behind the model and
view the stab and wing. If the stab and wing align with each
other, proceed to the next step. If the stab and wing do not
align, place a weight on the “high” side of the stab to bring it
into alignment. If much weight is required, remove the stab
and sand the high side of the slot in the fuse where the stab
fits until the stab aligns with the wing.
❏
4. Stick a pin into the top of the fuse centered in the
middle stringer at the front of the turtle deck. Tie a small loop
in one end of a 42" piece of non-elastic string. Slip the loop
in the string over the T-pin.
❏
5. Fold a piece of masking tape over the other end of the
string and draw an arrow on it. Slide the tape along the string
and align the arrow with one end of the stab as shown in the
photo. Swing the string over to the same position on the
other end of the stab. While keeping the stab centered from
side-to-side, adjust the stab and slide the tape along the
string until the arrow aligns with both sides. Be certain the
stab remains centered from side-to-side during this process.
