4) When you are sure that everything is
aligned correctly, mix up a generous amount
of 30 minute epoxy. Apply a thin layer to the
top and bottom of the stabilizer mounting area
and to the stabilizer mounting platform sides
in the fuselage. Put the stabilizer in place and
re-align. Double check all of your
measurements one more time before the
epoxy cures. Remove any excess epoxy using
a paper towel and rubbing alcohol and hold
the stabilizer in place with T-pins or masking
tape.

5) After the epoxy has fully cured, remove
the masking tape or T-pins used to hold the
stabilizer in place and carefully inspect the
glue joints. Use more epoxy to fill in any gaps
that were not filled previously and clean up the
excess using a paper towel and rubbing
alcohol.
