6-Horizontal and Vertical Stabilizer
Check the alignment of the vertical stabilizer.
When you are satisfied with the alignment, use a pencil
to trace around the left and right of the vertical stabilizer
where it meets the fuselage.
Remove the vertical stabilizer from the
fuselage.
Using a sharp hobby knife,
carefully cut away the
covering
below the
lines
which were drawn in the
previous
steep.
Do not cut into the woods
as this
will affect the structural integrity of the
stabilizer
.
Cut away only the
covering both sides.
With the perpendicular, check the alignment of the vertical
stabilizer and the horizontal stabilizer.
When you are satisfied with the alignment, secure the vertical
stabilizer in place using thin CA glue.
Again, insert the vertical stabilizer into the fuselage.
! Securely glue together. If coming off during fly,
you lose control of your air plane.

Again, slide the horizontal stabilizer into the slot on the fuselage.
Check the alignment of the horizontal stabilizer. When you are
satisfied with the alignment, glue the both sides of the horizontal

you lose control of your air plane.
Trial fit the vertical stabilizer
