Step 5
Use a felt-tipped pen to trace the outline of the fuselage
onto both the top and bottom of the stabilizer.

Step 6
Trim the covering 1/16-inch (1.5mm) inside the lines
and remove the covering from the stabilizer. Use care
not to cut into the underlying wood which will weaken
the stabilizer.
Note
: Use either a hot knife or soldering
iron to melt the covering, reducing the
chance of cutting into the stabilizer.
Step 7
Use sandpaper to roughen the ends of the stabilizer
joiner. This will provide a better bond between it and
the elevators.
Step 8
Slide the joiner wire into the fuselage, then the stabilizer.
Make sure the joiner wire is positioned before gluing the
stabilizer in position.
