 3. Remove the spar from the fuselage using a
2.5mm hex wrench. Check the fit of the spar in
the stabilizer. It should easily slide in up to the line
drawn on the spar in the previous step.
 4. Check the fit of the stabilizer on the fuselage. It
must fit tightly against the fuselage when the screws
are installed that secure the spar to the fuselage.
If the spar fits into the stabilizer and fuselage
without any problems, the fit of the stabilizer to the
fuselage should be perfect.
 5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 to check the fit of the
remaining stabilizer to the fuselage. Both stabilizers
should be positioned on the fuselage at this time.
 6. Attach the wing panels to the fuselage using
a 9/64-inch hex wrench. Stand back 8–10 feet
(2–3 meters) and check that the stabilizers are
positioned an equal distance from the wing. If not,
the spars may need to be sanded slightly to correct
any alignment issues.
Equal distance
 7. Remove the spar from the fuselage and
stabilizer. Use medium grit sandpaper to lightly
sand the spar where it will fit into the stabilizer.
Sand both the front and back of the spar.
 8. Apply a thin coat of petroleum jelly to the
fuselage around the spar socket. This will keep
you from accidentally gluing the stabilizer to the
fuselage during the following procedure.
Before mixing any epoxy, make sure to read through
and understand the following steps. It is important
to perform these steps before the epoxy fully cures.
