- Put the stabilizer into place in the position of the
fuselage.
2.
- Install the stabilizer onto the fuselage. Align the
centerline drawn on the top and the rear of the sta-
bilizer with the centre of the fuselage. When that
is aligned, hold the stabilizer in that position us-
ing T-pins or masking tape. Align the horizontal
stabilizer with the wing. When viewed from the
rear, the horizontal stabilizer should be level with
the wing. If it is not level, use sandpaper and sand
down the high side of the stabilizer mounting plat-
form until the proper alignment is achieved. e
tips of the stabilizer should also be equal distance
from the tips of the wing.
- When you are satised with the alignment, hold
the stabilizer in place with T- pins or masking tape,
but do not glue at this time.
- With the stabilizer held rmly in place, use a pen
and draw lines onto the stabilizer where it and the
fuselage sides meet. Do this on both the right and
le sides and top and bottom of the stabilizer.
- Remove the stabilizer. Using the lines you just
drew as a guide, carefully remove the covering
from between them using a modeling knife.
3.
- Using a modeling knife, carefully remove the cov-
ering that overlaps the stabilizer mounting plat-
form sides in the fuselage. Remove the covering
from both the top and the bottom of the platform
sides.
4.
- When you are sure that everything is aligned cor-
rectly, mix up a generous amount of 30 Minute Ep-
oxy. Apply a thin layer to the bottom of the stabi-
lizer mounting area and to the stabilizer mounting
platform sides in the fuselage. Putting the stabilizer
in place and realign. Double check all of your mea-
surements once more before the epoxy cures. Hold
the stabilizer in place with T-pins or masking tape
and remove any excess epoxy using a paper towel
and rubbing alcohol.
