Section 11: Mounting the Horizontal Stabilizer
Step 5
Position the stabilizer on the stabilizer base. Use
the centerline on the base and stab to aid in positioning.
Use tape to hold the stab in position
for the following step.
Step 6
Measure from the tip of the stab on right to the right wing
tip and record the distance. Repeat this for the left side of
the plane and compare the two measurements. If these
measurements are different, adjust the stabilizer position
until they are identical.
Step 7
Locate the four mounting holes in the stabilizer and
remove the covering using a hobby knife. Carefully drill
through the holes and through the stabilizer mounting
flanges of the fuselage using a 9/64" drill bit.
