Use a plane and sanding bar to shape the leading and trailing edges of the stabilizer. Sand all
surfaces as required in preparation for covering.

16 Use a hobby knife to continue the hinge slots TE into the false trailing edge SGTE.
Locate the shaped elevator. Note that the
two elevators are connected by a web at
the center. Keep this web in place until af-
ter installing the elevator joiner parts EJ-A
and EJ-B. Place the trailing edge against
a straight edge and pin to the workbench.
Then install and glue EJ-A and EJ-B. Note
that the elevator horn will attach to EJ-A
on the elevator half.
Sand the joiner to contour with the lead-
ing edge and then sand the taper at each
end to match that of the stabilizer.
This completes the assembly of the stabilizer.

This concludes the elevator assembly.

1 Prepare all rudder components, R1, R2,
R3-A and two R3-B. Glue R2 to R1; note
the correct orientation. The end of R2
marked TOP should be toward the tip of
the rudder. After installing it, trim the bot-
tom to match the angle of the stabilizer
opening in R1.

c
2 R3-A is laminated between too R3-B parts
to form both the rudder horn mount and
also provide a slot for the tail wheel arm.
This will allow the empennage assembly
to be removed easily. Glue R3-B to R3-
A, then flip the assembly over and glue
the remaining R3-B to R3-A. Glue this as-
sembly into the notch provided in R1.
