After the epoxy has fully cured, re-
move the masking tape or T-pins used to hold
the stabilizer in place. Carefully inspect the
glue joints. Use more epoxy to fill in any gaps
that may exist that were not filled previously
and clean up the excess using a paper towel
and rubbing alcohol.

7) When you are sure that everything is
aligned correctly, mix up a generous amount
of Flash 30 Minute Epoxy. Apply a thin layer
to the top and bottom of the stabilizer mount-
ing area and to the stabilizer mounting plat-
form sides in the fuselage. Slide the stabi-
lizer in place and realign. Double check all of
your measurements once more before the ep-
oxy cures. Hold the stabilizer in place with T-
pins or masking tape and remove any excess
epoxy using a paper towel and rubbing alco-
hol.

1) Using a modeling knife, remove the
covering from over the precut hinge slot cut
into the lower rear portion of the fuselage. This
slot accepts the lower rudder hinge.
!
2) Slide the vertical stabilizer into the slot
in the top of the fuselage. The rear edge of
the stabilizer should be flush with the rear
edge of the fuselage and the lower rudder
hinge should engage the precut hinge slot in
the lower fuselage. The bottom edge of the
stabilizer should also be firmly pushed against
the top of the horizontal stabilizer.
