STABILIZER INSTALLATION.
1) Using a ruler and a pen, locate the
centerline of the horizontal stabilizer, at
the trailing edge, and place a mark. Use a
triangle 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.
2) Using a modeling knife, carefully re-
move the covering at mounting slot of
horizontal stabilizer ( both side of fuse-
lage).
3) Slide the stabilizer into place in the
precut slot in the rear of the fuselage. The
stabilizer should be pushed firmly against
the front of the slot.
Draw center line
2) Carefully remove the elevator from
one of the horizontal stabilizer panels.
Note the position of the hinges.
Glue the elevator hinges in place using
the same techniques used to hing the ai-
lerons.
Glue the ruder hinges in place using the
same techniques used to hing the ailer-
ons.
3) Remove each hinge from the horizon-
tal stabilizer panel and elevator and place
a T-pin in the center of each hinge. Slide
each hinge into the elevator until the T-pi
n is snug against the elevator. This will
help ensure an equal amount of hinge is
on either side of the hinge line when the
elevator is mounted to the horizontal sta-
bilizer panel.
