Step 1
Locate the 1/4 x 1 3/4-inch wing dowel. Sand a small
taper on one end of the dowel to make it easier to attach the
wing to the fuselage.
Step 2
Glue the dowel into the wing using 6-minute epoxy. Make sure
there is about 1/2-inch of the dowel exposed.
Step 3
Place the wing onto the fuselage. Secure the wing using the
1/4-20 x 2-inch nylon bolt.

Step 1
Slide the stab into the slot in the fuselage, with the leading
edge pushed forward in the slot. Center the stab in the opening
by measuring the distance from the fuselage to each tip. The
stab is aligned when both measurements are identical.
A
A'
A=A'
Step 2
Check the distance from each stab tip to each wing tip. These
measurements must also be equal.
B B'
B=B'
Step 3
The last alignment step is making sure the wing and stabilizer
are parallel. If they are not, lightly sand the opening in the
fuselage for the stab until the stab rests parallel to the wing.
Equal Distances
Step 4
Use a felt-tipped pen to trace the outline of the fuselage on the
top and bottom of the stab.
