Step 1
Use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the hatch at the rear
bottom of the fuselage and set aside.
Step 2
At the aft end of the fuselage is a notch cut out for the vertical
stabilizer post to fit into. Slide the horizontal stabilizer into the
horizontal stabilizer saddle. Align the notch in the stabilizer
with the notch in the fuselage. Hold the trailing edge of the stab
in place with a T-pin.
Step 3
Install the wing onto the fuselage.
Step 4
With the fuselage and horizontal stabilizer resting on a flat
surface, align the horizontal stabilizer by measuring from fixed
points on the wing tips to the outside of the trailing edge of the
horizontal stabilizer. Be sure that the trailing edge of the
horizontal stabilizer stays aligned with the notch. Adjust the
stabilizer until you have an equal distance on both the right and
left sides of the stabilizer to the wing.
