Step 3:  Installing the Stabilizer Mounting Board

❑

Using a ruler and a pencil, draw a centerline across the

top 

and

 bottom of the horizontal stabilizer, perpendicular to

the trailing edge.

☞

Make sure the centerline is exactly in the center of the

stabilizer.

❑

Remove the two pieces of mounting board from the

protective backing.

❑

Apply the two pieces of mounting board to the top and

bottom of the horizontal stabilizer.  The back edge of each
piece should be even with the trailing edge of the stabilizer,
and the centerline marks you drew on the front and back of
the mounting board should line up with the centerline you drew
on the top and bottom of the stabilizer.

❑

Using a pencil, draw a centerline mark on the front and back edges of both pieces of horizontal stabilizer mounting board

(the two tapered-shaped pieces).  These marks will help you align the mounting board with the centerline of the stabilizer.

IMPORTANT

Before installing the mounting board in the next procedure, look at the shape of the two pieces carefully.  

The 

narrower

end of each piece should be toward the 

trailing edge

 of the stabilizer.

❑

Apply the remaining two pieces of stabilizer mounting

board to each side of the vertical stabilizer.  The back edge
of each piece of mounting board should be 1/4" in front of the
trailing edge of the stabilizer and the bottom of each piece should
be even with the bottom of the stabilizer.

Do not epoxy the stabilizer to the fuselage.  Because of the plastic that the fuselage is molded from, even roughening
the surface will not allow the epoxy to adhere strong enough to hold the stabilizer securely.  Screwing the stabilizer into
place, while different from other models, actually works very well and results in a very secure joint.

Step 4:  Installing the Horizontal Stabilizer
