Installing the plywood stab mount
❑
8. Locate the 1/8" (3mm) triangular plywood
stabilizer mount and test fit the mount into the
bottom of the horizontal stabilizer slot. Lightly sand
the mount if necessary to obtain a proper fit.
Gluing the mount in place
❑
9. Mix 1/8oz. (3.5ml) of 30-minute epoxy to glue
the stabilizer mount into place. Using a mixing stick,
apply a generous amount of glue into the slot and
position the stabilizer mount inside the slot on the
bottom side. The stabilizer mount should be pressed
firmly into position. Remove any excess epoxy that
remains on the top of the stabilizer mount as well as
on the outside of the fuselage using a paper towel and
rubbing alcohol.
Removing the tail post
❑
10. Located at the rear of the fuselage, behind the
horizontal stabilizer slot are two balsa tail posts.
These posts are left for building alignment and
fuselage construction guides. Both of these posts
must be removed in order to insert the horizontal
stabilizer. Using a sharp hobby knife, cut the posts
even with the slot as shown in the picture.
Vertical stabilizer slot covering
❑
11 Using your finger, locate the vertical stabilizer
slot on the top of the fuselage. Remove the covering
with a hobby knife in the same manner as for the
horizontal stabilizer slots. This will allow better viewing
access when centering the horizontal stabilizer.
Finding the centerline
❑
12. Locate the horizontal stabilizer and draw a
centerline on the side with the three color decals.
Insert the stabilizer into the tail section with the line
showing through the vertical stabilizer slot.
