Check the alignment of the horizontal
stabilizer by measuring from a fixed point
along the center line of the fuselage to the
leading edge on each side of the horizontal
stabilizer. The distance must be equal on
both sides. If not, adjust the stabilizer until
the measurements are the same.
1-Trial fit the horizontal stabilizer in place . Check the alignment
of the horizontal stabilizer. When you are satisfied with the
alignment, use a pencil to trace around the bottom of the stabilizer
where it meets the fuselage.
2-Remove the horizontal stabilizer from the fuselage. Using the
sharp hobby knife, carefully cut away the covering inside the
lines which were marked above.
3-Spread epoxy (30 minute) onto the bottom of the horizontal
stabilizer along the area where the covering was removed
and to the fuselage where the horizontal stabilizer mounts.
4-Install the horizontal stabilizer into the fuselage and adust the
alignment as described in steep 1.Allow the epoxy to cure
before proceeding to next step.
