tip and each wing tip. Move the stabilizer as
necessary for alignment, making both distances

the stabilizer where it lines up with the fuse. It is
best to mark the bottom of the stabilizer only as
you will not be able to remove marker without
causing damage to the paint finish.

the wing. Sanding the opening in the fuse can
correct any misalignments.
