2. Draw a center line onto the horizontal
stabilizer. Then put the horizontal into the fuse
large.
3. Mark the shape of the vertical on the left
and right sides onto the horizontal stabilizer
using a felt-tip pen
4. 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 re-
move it, cut with only enough pressure to
only cut through the covering it’s self. Cut-
ting into the balsa structure may weaken
it. This could lead to possible failure dur-
ing flight
Check to mark sure the wing and stabi-
lizer are paralell. If they are not, lightly sand
the opening in the fuselage for the stabilizer
until the stabilizer is paralell to the wing.
5. 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
measurements 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.
