Fuselage
Stabilizer
1.
!
Collect the following parts:
(1) Fuselage
(1) Stabilizer & Elevator
(1) wing with mounting screws and washers
2.
!
Locate the holes in the center of the wing for
the wing bolts. Remove the covering over
these holes.
!
Mount the wing to the fuselage using the long
bolt and washer for the front of the wing, and
the short bolt and washer for the rear of the
wing
!
Make sure that the wing is perpendicular to
the fuselage by measuring from both wing tips
to the rear of the fuselage, the measurement
should be approximately the same.
3.
!
Find the center of the stabilizer, by measuring
the length of the trailing edge when the eleva-
tor is removed.
!
Stand the stabilizer up on its edge and using a
right triangle draw a center line up from the
trailing edge to the leading edge.
!
Find the center of the fuselage in front of
where the stabilizer sits.
!
Place the stabilizer on the fuselage using the
mark you just made.

4.
!
Measure from the end of the wing to the tip of
the stab. This measurement should be the
same for both sides.
!
Look down the length of the fuselage and
check that the stabilizer is parallel to the wing.
If it is not then shim the low side till they are
parallel.
!
When satisfied then glue the stabilizer in place
using 5 minuet epoxy. Make sure the stabiliz-
er remains both perpendicular and parallel to
the wing and fuselage while the epoxy dries.

!
Remove the covering over the slot.
!
Place white glue on the joiner wire and slide
the wire into the elevator with the slot.
!
Turn the elevator over and using two mini CA
