Fit the fi n in position. Use a hobby square to make sure the fi n is
square to the stabilizer. If not, lightly sand the fi n where it fi ts into
the stabilizer and fuselage to correct the alignment.
3.
Apply epoxy to the exposed wood inside the rear of the fuselage.
4.
Apply epoxy to the exposed wood on the fi n where it will contact the
fuselage. Also apply epoxy under the fi n to glue it to the top of the
fuselage where the covering was removed.
2.
Remove the fi n from the fuselage. Mix 1 ounce (30ml) of 30-minute
epoxy and use an epoxy brush to apply it to the exposed wood in the
stabilizer.
5.
Fit the fi n into position and check the alignment. Use low-tack tape
to hold the fi n in position until the epoxy fully cures. Continually
check the fi n to make sure it remains aligned with the stabilizer as
the epoxy cures.
