SECTION 11: HORIZONTAL & VERTICAL STABILIZER INSTALLATION
YOU'LL NEED THE FOLLOWING SUPPLIES:
❑ 220 Grit Sandpaper w/Sanding Block
❑ Masking Tape
❑ Paper Towels
❑ Rubbing Alcohol
❑ NHP Epoxy Mixing Sticks
❑ NHP Epoxy Mixing Cups
❑ Remove the control surfaces and hinges from both the horizontal and vertical stabilizers and set them aside for now.
Step 1: Aligning the Vertical Stabilizer
❑ (1) Horizontal Stabilizer w/Elevator Halves
❑ (1) Vertical Stabilizer w/Rudder
❑ Using a modeling knife, remove the covering material
from the bottom of the vertical stabilizer and the sides and
front of the mounting post.
❑ Using a modeling knife, remove the covering material
from the top of the horizontal stabilizer and from the slot in
the trailing edge.
❑ Test-fit the vertical stabilizer to the horizontal stabilizer.
To align it properly, the back of the mounting post should
be even with the back of the slot in the horizontal stabilizer
and the contour of the vertical stabilizer should match the
contour of the horizontal stabilizer.
☞
Make sure the vertical stabilizer is pushed down firmly
against the horizontal stabilizer. There should be no gaps
between them.
