INSTALLING THE HORIZONTAL
STABILIZER
Using a ruler and a pen, locate the cen-
terline of the horizontal stabilizer, at the
trailing edge, and place a mark. Use a tri-
angle and extend this mark, from back
to front, across the top of the stabilizer.
Also extend this mark down the back of
the trailing edge of the stabilizer.
Using a modeling knife, carefully re-
move the covering at mounting slot of
horizontal stabilizer ( both side of fuse-
lage).
Draw center line.
Slide the stabilizer into place in the
precut slot in the rear of the fuselage.
he stabilizer should be pushed irmly
against the front of the slot.
With the stabilizer held irmly in place,
use a pen and draw lines onto the stabi-
lizer where it and the fuselage sides meet.
Do this on both the right and let sides
and top and bottom of the stabilizer.
When cutting through the covering
to remove it, cut with only enough pressure
to only cut through the covering itself. Cut-
ting into the balsa structure may weaken
it.
.
Using a modeling knife, carefully remove
the covering that overlaps the stabilizer
mounting platform sides in the fuselage.
Remove the covering from both the top
and the bottom of the platform sides.
