❑
Using a ruler, builder's triangle and a pencil, carefully measure
and draw a vertical centerline across the top of the horizontal stabilizer.
❑
Slide the stabilizer into the mounting slot and temporarily align it.
The stabilizer should be pushed forward completely, and when viewed
from above through the vertical stabilizer mounting slot, the centerline
you drew on the stabilizer should be centered within the vertical
stabilizer mounting slot.

IMPORTANT
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
When the stabilizer is slid into place, make sure
that the back of the fuselage is not closed up. There should be about
a 3/16" wide space to allow for installation of the vertical stabilizer later.

IMPORTANT
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
The stabilizer should slide easily into position. If the fit is too tight, the back of the fuselage will become
distorted. There should be a gap between the trailing edge of the stabilizer and the back edge of the mounting slot. This
gap will allow room for the elevator joiner wire to be installed later.
❑
When satisfied with the alignment, hold only the trailing edge of the stabilizer in position, using a couple of pieces of masking
tape. The front of the stabilizer should be able to pivot from side to side and the back should stay in place and aligned.
❑
If you haven't already done so, mount the wing to the fuselage, using the flange-head self-tapping screw provided.

❑
Use a ruler to carefully measure the distance between the tips of the
stabilizer and the tips of the wing. Pivot the front of the stabilizer until
both of these measurements are equal. When both measurements are
equal, the stabilizer is square to the wing.
☞
The stabilizer must be square to the wing or else the flight
characteristics of the airplane will be compromised.
❑
When you are satisfied that the stabilizer is square to the wing, use
a pencil to draw a couple of marks on each side of the front of the
stabilizer where it and the fuselage sides meet.
