11-Horizontal stabilizer
Push the horizontal stabilizer into the slot on the
fuselage as show. Check the alignment of the
horizontal stabilizer by measuring from a fixed
point along the center line of the fuselage to the
leading edge on each side of the horizontal stabilizer.
The distance must be equal on both sides .
If not, adjust the stabilizer until the measurements
are the same.
When you are satisfied with the alignment, use
a pencil to trace around the top and bottom of
the stabilizer where it meets the fuselage.

Remove the horizontal stabilizer
from the fuselage. Using a straight edge
and a sharp hobby knife, carefully cut away
the covering inside the lines which were marked
above. Be cautious not to cut into the wood-this
will weaken the structure.
