Tracing the fuselage outline
❑
13. Using a felt-tip pen, trace a line around the tail
of the airplane on the top and bottom of the
horizontal stabilizer.
Removing the covering
❑
14. Using a hobby knife, cut inside the lines made
with a felt-tip pen and remove the covering from the
center of the horizontal stabilizer.
Do not cut into the
balsa sheeting on the horizontal stabilizer.
Preparing to install the stabilizer
❑
15. Attach a piece of string with a pin to the center
line as shown. The string should be a minimum of
31-1/2" (800mm) in length. Stretch the string to the
corner of the horizontal stabilizer. The distance from
the pin to the horizontal stabilizer must be the same on
both sides. This method will adjust the horizontal
stabilizer to a 90Þ angle to the centerline of the aircraft.
Installing the stabilizer
❑
16. Mix 1/4oz. (7.5ml) of 30-minute epoxy to install
the horizontal stabilizer. Using a mixing stick, place
glue inside the horizontal stabilizer slot on all sides
including the horizontal stabilizer mount. Insert the
horizontal stabilizer and clean off the excess epoxy
that squeezes out of the joint with a paper towel and
rubbing alcohol. Adjust alignment as shown in the
previous step. Set the fuselage aside to cure.
Preparing the vertical stabilizer
❑
17. Locate the vertical stabilizer. Draw a line on
both sides even with the bottom of the fin.
Removing the covering
❑
18. Cutting below the line and through the
covering only, remove the covering from the base of
the vertical fin.
