Step 1: Preparing Your Workspace for Assembly
Before you begin assembling the Tantrum, you must prepare your workspace.
!
Making space in what is probably the most crowded place in your home
1.
Lay out the plans on a flat worktable, and then tape them down.
2.
Cover the plans with a sheet of wax paper. This will protect the plans from glue.
Step 2: Assembling the Stabilizers, Rudder, and Elevator
The first things that you are going to assemble are the stabilizers, rudder, and elevator.
When assembled, these are also known as the tail feathers.
