Cut and glue pieces of triangle stock to the top wing to strengthen
the glue joints. Glue one piece of triangle stock to the inside of each
wing strut and one piece to each side of the center wing mount.
STEP # 4: INSTALLING THE STABILIZER, ELEVATOR AND RUDDER
❑
Sand a 45º bevel into the bottom leading edge of the elevator.
❑
Slide the elevator into the fuselage first, then slide the stabilizer into
the fuselage. Make sure that the top of the stabilizer and the top of the
elevator are toward the top of the fuselage.
❑
Align the notches in the front and back of the stabilizer with the
fuselage.

You MUST sand the hinge bevel into the leading edge, then slide the elevator through the fuselage BEFORE
installing the stabilizer. If you don't, it will be impossible to install the elevator after the stabilizer is glued in place.

If you're building the Pitts, you don't need to sand the bevel in the leading edge of the elevator now. Because
of the design, you can simply slide the stabilizer into the fuselage, then hinge the elevator after gluing it into place.
