Step 2. Trim away the covering over the elevator and rudder
linkage openings on both sides of the fuselage at the tail. Look
carefully, and you will see the slots. Trim away the covering
using a sharp hobby knife.
Step 3. Carefully remove any the tape holding the elevators to
the horizontal stabilizer and remove the elevators. Measure the
center of the fuselage at the forward bulkhead where the front of
the horizontal stabilizer will rest, and the plywood plate at the
rear or the fuselage. Using a ruler, mark the center line of the
horizontal stabilizer
Step 4. Trial fit the horizontal stabilizer onto the rear of the
fuselage. Install the elevators to check the distance between them
and the rear of the fuselage to make sure there is no binding.
Note that the fit is very close. Use masking tape to hold the
horizontal stabilizer in place while making measurements. Check
to see if the elevators will function without binding when the
horizontal stabilizer is centered on the marks made in Step 3.
Step 5. Attach the wing and measure from the front tips of the
horizontal stabilizer to the wing tips. Each should be the same
distance from the wing. Make any adjustments necessary to
make sure the horizontal stabilizer is aligned with the wing.
Step 6. When you are satisfied with the position of the
horizontal stabilizer, use a felt- tipped pen or pencil to mark the
bottom of the horizontal stabilizer next to the fuselage. Remove
the horizontal stabilizer and trim away the covering 1/8” inside
the marks you made.
Being very careful no to cut or even
score the balsa wood below the covering. This will
provide for a more secure epoxy joint when the horizontal
stabilizer is epoxied to the fuselage.
Step 7. Reinstall the wing and mix approximately 2 ounces of
30-minute epoxy. Apply the epoxy to the tail where the horizontal
stabilizer will be mounted and to the bare wood of the horizontal
stabilizer. Reposition the horizontal stabilizer to the fuselage,
