remove the covering from the openings in the side of the fuselage to accept the
horizontal stab and wing tube. Slide the carbon fiber wing tube into the fiberglass

into its slot and check to be sure the stab is aligned with the wings. Sand or shim
the slot for proper alignment. When satisfied with the alignment install the
horizontal stab using 30 minute epoxy. Proper stab alignment is crucial for best
flight performance so make sure to take your time here and get it right!
