1. Use a hobby knife w/#11 blade to trim the
decal from the opening on the bottom of the
fuselage for the ventral fin. Prepare the slots for
both the left and right ventral fins at this time.
2. Test fit the ventral fin in the slot on the bottom of
the fuselage. The taller portion of the fin will face
to the front of the fuselage and the decal will face
to the wing tip. Once satisfied with the fit remove
the fin from the fuselage. Mix a small amount of
6-minute epoxy. Apply the epoxy in the slot and
insert the ventral fin in the slot. Allow the epoxy to
fully cure before proceeding to the fin installation.
3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 to install the remaining
ventral fin on the bottom of the fuselage.
