6) When you are sure that everything is a
aligned correctly, mix up a generous amount
of 30 minute epoxy. Apply a thin layer to the
slot in the mounting platform and to the verti-
cal stabilizer mounting area. Apply epoxy to
the lower rudder hinge. Set the stabilizer in
place and re-align. Double check all of your
measurements once more 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.
Allow the epoxy to fully cure before proceed-
