Flocking in Horizontal Stabiliser

Before flocking in the stabiliser it is important to identify which fuselage you have in your kit and

whether a ‘tail

cone’ is required or not. The following identifies the difference in fuselage flange

attachment.

Fuselages without a rear
flange DO require a tail-
cone (follow the
instructions listed in the

‘glass the tail cone section’

Fuselages with a rear
flange DO NOT require a
tail-cone and need only be
flocked in along the side
and rear fuselage flanges
