6) 

When you are sure that everything is aligned 

correctly,  mix  up  a  generous  amount  of  30  minute   

epoxy. Apply a thin layer to the top and bottom of the 

stabilizer mounting area and to the stabilizer mounting 

platform  sides  in  the  fuselage.  Slide  the  stabilizer  in 

place and re-align. Double check all of your measure-

ments one more time before the epoxy cures. Remove 

any  excess  epoxy  using  a  paper  towel  and  rubbing 

alcohol and hold the stabilizer in place with T-pins or 

masking tape.

  

5) 

Remove the stabilizer. Using the lines you just 

drew as a guide, carefully remove the covering from 

between them using a modeling knife. 

When  cutting  through  the  covering  to  remove  it,  cut 

with  only  enough  pressure  to  only  cut  through  the 

covering it’s self. Cutting into the balsa structure may 

weaken  it.  This  could  lead  to  possible  failure  during 

flight.

ing tape or T-pins used to hold the stabilizer in place 

and carefully inspect the glue joints. Use more epoxy 

to  fill  in  any  gaps  that  may  exits  that  were  not  filled  

previously and clean up the excess using a paper tow-
