4. Temporarily mount the elevator servo, then remove
it (it’s easier to drill the holes for the elevator servo now,
before the stab has been glued in).
❏
5. Mount the wings to the fuselage. Slide the horizontal
stabilizer into position. View the model from the rear to see
if the stab is parallel with the wing.
❏
6. If necessary, remove the stab and carefully sand the
stab saddle where necessary to align the stab with the wing.
❏
7. Now that the stab is level with the wing, center the
stab laterally by using a ruler to
equalize
the distance from
both ends of the stab to the fuselage.
❏
8. Once centered, stick T-pins into the trailing edge of
the stab on both sides of the fuselage to lock the trailing
edge into place.
❏
9. Tie a loop around one end of an approximately 48"
[1200mm] non-elastic line. Fold a piece of masking tape
over the other end of the line. Mark a line on the tape.
