Fuselage and vertical stabilizer fins gluing
The 2 fins at the rear of the fuselage and the 2 fins on the vertical stabilizer must be glued in their final
positions. Sand the areas to be glued to the fins and friezes on the fuselage with 100 to 150 grit sandpaper,
apply 30 to 40 minutes epoxy glue and secure in the correct position with masking tape until the glue cures
completely. Note that there must be symmetry between the angles of the fins when viewed from behind the
fuselage, with the fuselage ones being 45 degrees downwards in relation to the ground line, while the vertical
stabilizer ones are horizontal. Even the angles on both sides before the glue has fully cured. Use the photos
below as a reference.

Antennas gluing
The 2 antennas at the top of the fuselage (1 large and 1 small) and the antenna at the bottom of the fuselage
(larger) must be glued in their final positions or installed with magnets so that they are easily and practically
removable. To glue, sand the areas to be glued on the antennas and on the fuselage bases with 100 to 150 grit
sandpaper, apply 30 to 40 minutes epoxy glue and secure in the correct position with masking tape until the
glue is completely cured. Use the photos below as a reference.
