Dry fit the stab top center section sheeting piece to the stab. Slide the fin spar base through the cutout in the top and bottom stab sheeting. With the fin resting on the stab check the alignment to be sure the fin
is vertical and the fin center line is aligned with the fuselage center line. When satisfied with the alinement glue the stab top sheeting to the stab. Remove the fin from the stab. Apply some air dry glue to the fin
spar base where it contacts the top rudder horn support and stab center section sheeting. Also apply glue to the bottom face of fin rib F6. Slide the fin into position and let the glue dry.
Sand the dorsal fin to the cross section shown on the plan. Dry fit
the dorsal fin to the fuselage and fin. When the fit is satisfactory
glue the dorsal fin to the fuselage and fin.
Glue the three 1/4" balsa elevator filler laminations together. Sand
the assembly to match the elevator root rib profile. Temporarily fit
the elevators to the elevator horn. They can be retained with
masking tape. Glue the elevator filler piece to the fuselage with it
centered between the elevators. Remove the elevator halves.

The landing gear leg covers are made from three laminations of
1/8" balsa. Glue the center pieces to one side of the lamination
set. Use rubber cement to glue the other side of the lamination
set to the assembly. Sand the assembly to a streamlined cross
section. Separate the rubber cement joint and rub off any rubber
cement that remains. Place the covers on the landing gear legs
and then glue the lose outer piece to the assembly. Apply glue to
the landing gear leg as well.
This completes the structural assembly. The model is covered followed by installation of the control surfaces and radio equipment.
The CG location is shown on the plan. Be sure to check the balance with the battery pack that will be used in place.
