❏ 1. Place the stab and elevator plan on your work
surface and cover it with wax paper.
❏ 2. From the 3/8"x 5/8"x 36" balsa stick, cut and
glue the stab TE and sub TE together. Pin it in place
on the plan.
❏ 3. From the remainder of the 3/8" x 15/16" balsa
stick used for the fin, make two stab center pieces.
Glue them in place making sure to use two 3/8"
shims so that the fin bottom will fit into the stab center.
❏ 4. From a 3/8"x 5/8"x 30" balsa stick, cut and
glue the stab LE in place.
❏ 5. Using a leftover piece of 3/8"x 15/16" balsa
stick, fit and glue the stab tip gussets in place.
❏ 6. From a 1/8"x 3/8"x 24" balsa stick, cut, fit
and glue the stab ribs in place.
NOTE: It is important that the ribs fit the LE and TE
well. It is not important that each rib fit the exact
location shown on the plan.
❏ 7. Using the remainder of the 3/8"x 3/8" balsa
stick, cut and glue the hinge blocks in place.
❏ 8. Sand both sides of the stab flat. Radius the LE
as shown on the plan.
❏ 1. Laminate two of the 1/8" die-cut balsa elevator
trailing edge pieces together for each elevator.
❏❏2. From a 3/8"x 5/8"x 30" balsa stick, cut the
elevator leading edge and also the root end of the
elevator. Glue these pieces together over the plan.
❏❏3. Holding the laminated TE down on the
1/16" balsa shims, glue it to the TE and root.
❏❏4. From a 1/8"x 3/8"x 24" balsa stick, cut,
fit and glue the elevator ribs in place.
NOTE: It is important that the ribs fit the LE and TE
well. It is not important that each rib fit the exact
location shown on the plan.
❏❏5. From the remainder of the 3/8" x 3/8"
balsa stick, cut and glue the hinge blocks into place.
❏❏6. Sand this assembly to the airfoil shown in
the cross section on the plan.
NOTE: This is a semi symmetrical wing. Make sure
you mark the top of the ribs so that you get them all
correctly positioned.
❏ 1. Remove the ribs from the die sheets. Mark the
top of the ribs with a pen.
