4) Now, remove the vertical stabilizer and
using a modeling knife, carefully cut just inside
the marked lines and remove the film of the
vertical stabilizer. Just as you did with the
horizontal stabilizer, make sure you only press
hard enough to cut the film, not the balsa
vertical stabilizer.

6) When you are sure that everything is a
aligned correctly, mix up a generous amount
of 30 minute epoxy. Apply a thin layer to the
slot in the mounting platform and to the vertical
stabilizer mounting area. Apply epoxy to the
lower rudder hinge. Set the stabilizer in place
and re-align. Double check all of your
measurements once more 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.
Allow the epoxy to fully cure before proceeding.

C/A glue.
2) 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) 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.
RUDDER CONTROL HORN INSTALLATION.
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.
Rudder control horn install as same as the
way of elevator control horn. Please see
