Use a felt tip pen to mark the fuselage
outline on the top and bottom of the
stabilizer.
With a sharp razor knife, cut and
remove the covering 1/8-inch inside
the lines
Slide the stabilizer in the fuselage
leaving 3/8-inch wood exposed. Coat
the wood with epoxy, top and bottom.
Slide the stabilizer through the
fuselage exposing wood on the other
side, coat with epoxy and then center
using the pen lines. Before the epoxy
cures double check the stabilizer with
the string and square if necessary.
Clean the excess epoxy with a paper
towel moistened with alcohol.
Open the three holes in the covering
for the fin as shown.
Coat the mating surface of the fin with
a thin layer of epoxy. It is not
necessary to remove any of the
covering. Install the fin starting with
the lower pin, tapping gently forward.
Remove the excess epoxy with a paper
towel moistened with alcohol.
Open the hardware pack with the
flying wire brackets and screws. Bend
the six brackets to an angle of
approximately 45-degrees. Install the
brackets in the fin and stabilizer with
the supplied screws. With the screws
tight apply a small amount of paint or
RTV silicone to lock the threads.
