3. Slide the joiner tube through the fuselage bushings.
❏
4. Slide the other control horn/spacer onto the joiner
tube. Do not glue it in place yet.
❏
5. Test fit the other stabilator half onto the joiner rod.
Lengthen the slot in the stabilator half if necessary to allow
it to fit snugly against the spacer.
❏
6. Tip: Use 6-minute epoxy for this step to allow yourself
enough working time. Glue the stabilator half and spacer to
the joiner tube. Use two square sticks (any scrap you have
will do) and
lightly clamp the stabilator halves between them
to align everything while the glue hardens.
❏
1. Glue two nylon pin hinges into the precut slots in the fin. Be
careful not to get glue into the pivoting section of the hinge.
❏
2. Glue the hinges into the precut slots in the rudder.
❏
3. Glue the fin to the fuselage. Make sure that it is straight
and centered both vertically and longitudinally.
