Step 6
Slide the stabilizer back into the fuselage. Check both sides
of the stabilizer to make sure it is square with the fuselage. If
not, lightly sand the opening in the fuselage for the stabilizer
to correct any alignment issues.
Step 7
Slide the stabilizer to the side so the elevator joiner wire can
be positioned in the fuselage. Notice that the control horn
will align in the slot in the stabilizer.
Step 8
Mix 1/2 ounce (15ml) of 30-minute epoxy and apply it to the
exposed wood on the top and bottom of the stabilizer.
Step 9
Slide the stabilizer into position and check its alignment as
described in Steps 4 and 6. Use a paper towel and rubbing
alcohol to remove any excess epoxy that will ooze from the
joint between the fuselage and stabilizer. Allow the epoxy to
fully cure before continuing.
Note
: If epoxy does not ooze from the joint between
the fuselage and stabilizer, you have not used enough
epoxy. Go back to Step 8 and apply more epoxy as the
stabilizer must be glued securely to the fuselage.
