a reference, sand a flat on the front of the stab.

1. Remove the stab plan from your building board, and
lay out the fuselage plan. Cover the fin area of the plan with
Great Planes Plans Protector so the glue won’t stick to
the plan.
❏
2. See the Expert Tip that follows, then use thin CA to
edge glue the two leftover pieces of 4" wide sheeting from
the stabilizer. Cut off the excess sheeting as shown in the
photo. Cut the sheeting diagonally to create two fin sheets.
HOW TO JOIN SHEETING
A. Use a metal straightedge as a guide to trim one edge
of both sheets.
B. Use masking tape to tightly tape the two sheets
together joining the trimmed edges.
C. Turn the sheet over and place weights on top of the
sheet to hold it. Apply thin CA sparingly to the seam
between the two places, quickly wiping away excess CA
with a paper towel as you proceed.
D. Turn the sheet over and remove the masking tape,
then apply thin CA to the seam the same way you did for
the other side.
E. Sand the sheet flat and smooth with your bar sander
and 150-grit sandpaper.
