6) When you are sure that everything is
aligned correctly, mix up a generous amount of
30 Minute Epoxy. Apply a thin layer to the mount-
ing slot in the top of the fuselage and to the sides
and bottom of the vertical stabilizer mounting
area. Apply epoxy to the bottom and top edges
of the filler block and to the lower hinge also.
When cutting through the covering to re-
move it, cut with only enough pressure to
only cut through the covering itself. Cutting
into the balsa structure may weaken it.
Because the size of servos differ, you
may need to adjust the size of the precut open-
ing in the mount. The notch in the sides of
the mount allow the servo lead to pass through.
