Instruction Manual
3) Mark the shape of the vertical on the left
and right sides onto the horizontal stabilizer
using a left-tip pen.
4) Remove the stabilizer. Using the lines
you just drew as a guide, carefully remove the
covering from between them using a modeling
knife.
When cutting through the covering to re-
move it, cut with only enough pressure to only
cut through the covering it’s self. Cutting into
the balsa structure may weaken it. This could
lead to possible failure during flight.
2) Draw a center line onto the horizontal
stabilizer. Then put the horizontal into the fu-
selage.
Remove covering.

Check to mark sure the wing and stabi-
lizer are paralell. If they are not, lightly sand
the opening in the fuselage for the stabilizer
until the stabilizer is paralell to the wing.
