4) With the stabilizer held firmly in place,
use a pen and draw lines onto the stabilizer

5) Remove the stabilizer. Using the lines you
just drew as a guide, carefully remove the
covering from between them using a mod-
eling knife.
Remove the covering
When cutting through the cov-
ering to remove it, cut with only enough
pressure to only cut through the covering
itself. Cutting into the balsa structure may
weaken it.
6) Using a modeling knife, carefully remove
the covering that overlaps the stabilizer
mounting platform sides in the fuselage.

7) When you are sure that everything is
aligned correctly, mix up a generous amount
of 30 Minute Epoxy. Apply a thin layer to
the top of the stabilizer mounting area and
to the stabilizer mounting platform on the
bottom of the fuselage. Put the stabilizer in
place and realign. Double check all of your
meas¬urements once more before the epoxy
cures. Hold the stabilizer in place with T-
pins or masking tape and remove any excess
epoxy using a paper towel and rubbing al-
cohol.
