VERTICAL STABILIZER INSTALLATION.
Elevator servo.
Remove covering.
2) While holding the vertical stabilizer
firmly in place, use a pen and draw a line on
each side of the vertical stabilizer where it
meets the top of the fuselage.
1) Slide the vertical stabilizer into the slot
in the top of the fuselage. The bottom edge of
the stabilizer should also be firmly pushed
against the top of the horizontal stabilizer.
3) Remove the vertical stabilizer. Using
a modeling knife, remove the covering from
below the lines you drew. Also remove the
covering from the bottom edge of the stabi-
lizer and the bottom and top edges of the filler
block. Leave the covering in place on the sides
of the filler block.
When cutting through the covering to re-
move it, cut with only enough pressure to only
cut through the covering itself. Cutting into
the balsa structure may weaken it.
4) Slide the vertical stabilizer back in
place. Using a triangle, check to ensure that
the vertical stabilizer is aligned 90º to the hori-
zontal stabilizer.
