4. Use 30-minute epoxy to glue the vertical fi n in place.
Ensure the fi n is perpendicular to the stab while the epoxy
cures. Use masking tape as shown to hold the fi n square to
the stab and allow the epoxy to cure undisturbed. After this
step is completed, the center wing section can be removed
and set aside until it’s time to balance the model.

5. Two vertical fi n gussets are included and should be
glued in place as shown here. Trim away the covering from
beneath the gussets like you did with the wing bolt plate.
The short gusset should be installed on the left side toward
the aft end of the fi n.

6. Insert one of the 36" [914mm] pushrods into the rudder
pushrod tube in the fuselage. The aft end of the pushrod
should be used to align and mark the screw holes onto the
rudder for the rudder control horn. The clevis holes in the
control horn should be aligned over the rudder hinge line. Use
a felt-tip pen to mark the control horn screw hole locations.
