Step 2
Locate the rudder/fin assembly. Use a 7/32-inch nut driver to
remove the nuts and washers from the threaded rods on the
bottom of the fin. Slide the fuselage fairing on the bottom of
the fin as shown.
note
: The fuselage fairing is not glued in place. Make
sure to keep the fairing in position when installing the
stabilizer.
Step 3
Position the stabilizer/elevator assembly so the control
horn will face down, away from the fin. The threaded rods
from the rudder/fin assembly will slide into the two holes
in the stabilizer.
Step 4
Slide the stabilizer/fin assembly into position on the fuselage.
The stabilizer will rest tightly against the fuselage, and the fin
will rest snug against the top of the stabilizer.
Step 5
Place the washers then thread the nuts on the rods. Tighten
the nuts snugly against the bottom of the fuselage using a
nut driver or an adjustable wrench. Do not over-tighten the
nuts.
