Test fit the Vertical Stab. If the Vertical Stab is not perpendicular to

the Fuselage top, shave a small amount of balsa off the port

Sidewall; see arrow in Figure 54.

Glue the Vertical Stab and lower triangle stock in place.

Trim the

⁄4" triangle stock flush with the top of VS4 and the

bottom of the Fuselage.

Now would be a good time to run your Antenna. Examine the

Antenna Path shown on Plan Sheet 1.

Sheeting the Vertical Stab

Locate the laser cut

⁄16" balsa sheeting for the Vertical Stab.

Note that the tall sections of sheeting are not the same size. The

sheeting for the port side is deeper so it can cover from the

forward side of the Vertical Stab to the rear edge of the triangle

stock.

Sand the inside of the leading edge to a point. Once this is done,

glue the port side sheeting in place with thin CA. Repeat this

sanding and gluing for the starboard side sheeting.

For the lower fin, sand the insides of both leading edges to a

point and CA glue them in place. DO NOT glue the last inch of

the lower fin sheeting to the Fuselage; this part will need to bend.

When working on the forward tip of the dorsal fin, pinch the two

sheets together and glue thoroughly with thin CA.

The Rudder

Locate the 5 parts of the Rudder and CA glue the parts to the

inside of the starboard Rudder sheet - identified by the slot cut

into the lower side (arrow).

The Rudder Spar must be flush with the leading edge of the

sheeting.
