Mount the horizontal tail plane
Trim the covering around the holes in the fuse for the stab spar tube and the two retaining
bolt holes on each side. You should also cut away the covering over the holes for the eleva-
tor servos, but don’t cut out the rudder servo covering yet.
Slide the spar through the fuse, and slide the stabilizers onto the tubes from each side.
Retain the stab to the fuse with two 4mm bolts, washers and lock washers. I advise you to use
washers and lock washers or a little blue loctite on the threads. Don’t use a lot, and don’t use
red loctite, or you won’t be able to get the screws out without tearing out the blind nut.
The assembled stab with controls is shown here: ( photo of Extra - but is similar to Giles )
