 4. Install the last two fittings on the bottom of the
fuselage using 2mm x 6mm sheet metal screws.
Make sure the fittings are directed toward the
fittings on the bottom of the stabilizer. Use a #1
Phillips screwdriver to tighten the screws. Do not
fully tighten the screws fully at this time.
 5. Tie the rigging line to the fitting on the fin. We
recommend using tweezers or hemostats to hold
onto the line while tying the knot. Once tied, place
a drop of thin CA on the knot to keep it from
coming loose.
 6. Tie the rigging at the fitting on the top of the
stabilizer. Use hemostats or tweezers to hold the line
while tying the knot. Place a light amount of tension
on the line. Make sure not to pull the stabilizer out
of alignment with the fin, so use a square to verify
the stabilizer and fin are still aligned. Once tied,
place a drop of thin CA on the knot. Use scissors to
trim the excess line as close to the fitting as possible.
 7. Repeat Steps 5 and 6 for the opposite side.
 8. Tie the rigging on the bottom from the stabilizer
to the fuselage. Again, use hemostats or tweezers
when tying the knots, and apply a drop of thin CA
on the knot to prevent it from coming loose. Fully
tighten all of the nuts and screws on the rigging at
this time using a #1 Phillips screwdriver and 4mm
nut driver. Use thin CA on the outer side of each nut
to hold them in place.
