4. Cut a piece of the elastic cord 50" [1270mm] long.
This length should be relaxed, not stretched. In order to feed
the elastic cord through the holes you have drilled, apply a
few drops of thin CA to one end of the elastic cord, covering
approximately 1" [25mm] of the cord. On the opposite end of
the cord put a small drop of CA, just enough to make the
end of the cord hard. On this end of the cord, apply a small
drop of CA to the end and insert it into the hole in the block.
Hold the cord in place until the glue cures. Thread the
opposite end of the cord through the hole in the leading
edge of the stab as shown.

5. Thread the cord through the hole in the leading edge
of the fin.
❏ ❏
6. Continue threading the cord through the hole in the
leading edge of the stab on the opposite side of the fuselage.
❏ ❏
7. At this point you will have to start stretching the
elastic to complete the positioning of the elastic cord. Pull
the cord around the tail wheel wire, then thread the cord
through the trailing edge of the stab and fin back to the hole
you drilled through in the block at the back of the fuselage.

8. Make two marks 1/2" [13mm] apart 1/4" [6mm]
above the landing gear. Drill partially into the fuselage on
each of the four marks 5/64" [2mm].
