INSTALLING VERTICAL STABILIZER
3) While holding the vertical stabilizer
fimly in place, use a pen and draw a line
on eachside of the vertical stabilizer
where it meets the top of the fuselage.
4) Slide the vertical stabilizer back in-
place. Using a triangle, check to ensure
that the vertical stabilizer is aligned 90º to
the horizontal stabilizer.
1) Using a modeling knife, remove the
covering from over the precut hinge slot
cut into the lower rear portion of the fu-
selage. Ths slot accepts the lower rudder
hinge.
2) Slide the vertical stabilizer into the slot
in the top of the fuselage. Th rear edge of
the stabilizer should be flsh with the rear
edge of the fuselage and the lower rudder
hinge should engage the precut hinge slot
in the lower fuselage. Th bottom edge of
the stabilizer should also be fimly pushed
against the top of the horizontal stabilizer.
