If
the
covering
is
not
removed
from
the
stabilizer,
a
proper
bond
for
your
adhesive
will
not
be
achieved.
Step
7:
Mix
30
‐
minute
epoxy
and
spread
some
inside
the
horizontal
stabilizer
mount
on
the
fuselage.
Spread
more
epoxy
onto
the
top
and
bottom
of
the
stabilizer
where
the
covering
was
removed.
Insert
the
stabilizer
into
the
fuselage
from
the
rear
and
adjust
the
alignment
using
the
guide
lines
that
were
drawn
onto
the
stabilizer.
Wipe
off
any
epoxy
that
squeezes
out
using
a
paper
towel
dampened
with
rubbing
alcohol.
Recheck
the
alignment
frequently
while
the
epoxy
cures.
Install
the
Vertical
Fin
Step
1:
Test
fit
the
vertical
fin
in
the
slot
in
the
top
of
the
fuselage.
Sand
the
edges
of
the
slot
if
necessary
to
obtain
a
snug
fit.
Draw
a
line
around
the
vertical
fin
where
it
meets
the
fuselage.
Cut
the
covering
1/16”
[1.6mm]
inside
the
lines
you
drew
on
the
vertical
fin
and
the
top
of
the
fuselage.
Remove
the
covering.
Step
2:
Mix
some
30
‐
minute
epoxy
and
apply
it
to
the
top
of
the
horizontal
stabilizer
through
the
slot
and
on
the
sides
of
the
slot.
Apply
more
epoxy
to
the
vertical
fin
where
the
covering
was
removed.
Insert
the
vertical
fin
into
the
fuselage
and
adjust
the
alignment.
Check
for
a
90
degree
angle
between
the
vertical
fin
and
horizontal
stabilizer
when
viewed
from
the
rear.
Use
masking
tape
to
hold
the
vertical
fin
in
this
position.
Recheck
the
alignment
frequently
while
the
epoxy
cures.
Install
the
Elevator
Step
1:
Find
the
pre
‐
cut
hinges
from
the
included
accessories.
Test
fit
the
hinges
in
the
slots
in
the
elevator
halves
and
stabilizer.
If
the
hinges
do
not
slide
into
the
slots
easily,
work
your
knife
blade
back
and
forth
in
the
slot
a
few
times
to
provide
more
clearance
OF HINGE SLOT
DEEP IN CENTER
DRILL A
HOLE
3/32
Step
2:
Drill
a
3/32”
[2.4mm]
hole,
1/2”
[12.7mm]
deep
in
the
center
of
the
hinge
slots.
Reinsert
your
knife
blade
to
clean
out
the
slot
after
you
drill
the
holes.
Step
3:
Insert
four
hinges
into
the
slots
in
the
stabilizer.
Press
the
elevators
onto
the
hinges
until
the
gap
between
the
elevators
and
stabilizer
is
about
1/32”
[.8mm].
Flex
the
elevators
a
little
in
one
direction,
but
do
not
allow
them
to
pull
away
from
the
stabilizer.
Apply
six
drops
of
thin
CA
onto
each
hinge.
Turn
the
fuselage
over
and
apply
six
more
drops
of
thin
CA
to
the
other
side
of
each
hinge.
DO
NOT
use
accelerator
while
hinging,
as
the
CA
must
wick
into
the
hinge
to
properly
attach
the
hinges.
Use
a
paper
towel
to
absorb
any
excess
CA.
After
the
CA
cures,
