Insert one M3x12 socket cap screw through the strut
fitting (carbon or aluminum), one M3x9x3 plastic
spacer, through the mount hole in the rear side frame
and secure with one M3 locknut. Repeat for the other
side.
Now that the struts are mounted to the mechanics,
position the horizontal fin square to the tail boom and
tighten up the M3 screws and locknuts to secure the
horizontal fin in place.
