2.

     

Center the horizontal stabilizer in the fuselage such that the trailing edge (B) is  

     

equidistant on the left and right sides. Adjust the tips of the stabilzer fore and aft to  

     

achieve an equal distance between corresponding points on the stabilizer tips and  

     

wing tips on both sides of the fuselage. 

   3.

     

Stand back approximately 6 feet (2 meters) from the rear of the airplane and    

     

carefully sight down the fuselage to level the horizontal stabilizer with the wing. It  

     

may be necessary to fabricate some shims from thin balsa sheet to correct a    

     

stabilizer that is out of level.

NOTICE

Do not use the top or bottom of the wing as a reference point to align the stabilizer. 

Because this airplane has a tapered airfoil, these lines are not level from one side of the 

airplane to the other. There should be an even gap between the stabilizer tips and the 

chosen reference points on the wings.

  

4.

     

Once satisfied with the alignment of the stab, carefully tack it into place with thin  

     

CA, then wick thin CA around the entire upper surface of the horizontal stabilizer.  

     

Wait a few moments, then carefully flip the airplane inverted to glue the underside  

     

of the stabilizer.

   5.

     

Test the fit of the elevator halves by sliding each elevator half onto the horizontal  

     

stabilizer, indexing the joiner wire into the slots in the elevator. Ensure that the  

     

elevator halves are properly aligned with each other at the trailing edge with the  

     

counterbalance flush with the leading edge. Correct any misalignment by carefully  

     

bending the joiner wire. Do not adjust the slots in the elevator halves. Once    

     

everything fits properly, remove the elevators  and sand the joiner wire to  

 

     

promote adhesion. Ensure all of the hinges and joiner wire are clean and free of oil  

     

before proceeding.
