❏
1. Test fit the stab into the opening in the back of the
fuselage. Stand back and look at the stab in relation to the
wing. The stab should be parallel with the wing. If not, sand
the stab saddle until the stab and wing are aligned.
❏
2. Measure the distance from the tip of the stab to the tip of
each wing. Adjust the position of the stab until both are equal.
❏
3. Mark the sides of the fuselage onto the top and bottom
of the stab with a fine point felt-tip marker. Cut the covering
away from the center of the stab using the same method
used on the wing. Reinsert the stab into the fuselage, double
checking the alignment with the wing.
❏
4. When satisfied with the fit of the stab, use thin CA with a
CA applicator tip to wick glue into the stab saddle. Apply the
glue to the top, bottom and both sides of the fuselage. Allow
the glue to fully harden before moving. After the glue has
hardened remove the wing from the fuselage. Hint: Do not use
any accelerator. This will most likely cause the glue to get a
white haze on the fuselage and stab. Allow the plane to sit for
approximately 5 minutes until the glue is completely hardened.
❏
5. Cut six hinges from the hinge material. Install the two
elevator halves using the same method used for the ailerons.
Once you are satisfied with the positioning of the elevators,
glue them in place with thin CA the same as was done on
the ailerons.
