5) Slide the vertical stabilizer back in
place. Using a triangle, check to ensure
that the vertical stabilizer is aligned 90 degree
to the horizontal stabilizer.

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 vertical
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 proceeding.

4) Now, remove the vertical stabilizer and
using a modeling knife, carefully cut just inside
the marked lines and remove the film of the
vertical stabilizer. Just as you did with the
horizontal stabilizer, make sure you only press
hard enough to cut the film, not the balsa
vertical stabilizer.
When cutting through the covering to re-
move it, cut with only enough pressure to only
cut through the covering itself. Cutting into
the balsa structure may weaken it.
Remove covering.
