the threads in the wing bolt plate. After the CA has fully
cured, thread the tap back through the holes to clean up the
threads. Bolt the wing to the fuse with two nylon 10-24 wing
bolts, checking the fit.
❏ 9. Trim the clear windshield along the embossed “cut
lines.” Then, tape it in position on the front of the cabin.
❏ 10. With the wing installed, note the gap between the LE
of the wing and the windshield. Install shims made from
1/16" balsa sheet to reduce the gap to 1/32" on each side.
❏ 1. To aid in alignment, draw an accurate centerline on
the top of the stabilizer. This centerline should be in the
middle of S-5 and perpendicular to the TE.
❏ 2. Mount the wing on the fuse. Center the stabilizer on the
stab saddle, aligning the centerline of the stab with the
centerline of the fuse. From a few feet behind the fuselage,
view the stabilizer, checking that the stabilizer is parallel with
the wing. If not, remove the stabilizer and sand the saddle
slightly. The front of the stab may need to be sanded slightly
so that the stab TE is flush with the aft end of the fuse. When
satisfied with the fit, use 30-minute epoxy to glue the stab to
the fuse. Double-check the stab alignment while the
epoxy is curing.
❏ 3. Set the fin in position on the stab. The fin TE must line
up with the aft edge of the fuselage tail post. If the fin is too
far forward, sand V-1 slightly to allow the fin to slide back
until the TE lines up properly. Also, the bottom of V-1 may
need to be sanded to allow the fin to seat on the stab.
❏ 4. Measure 1/8" on each side of the stab centerline and
draw two lines parallel with the stab centerline.
