❑ While holding the vertical stabilizer firmly in place,
use a builder's triangle to double-check that the vertical
stabilizer is aligned 90º to the horizontal stabilizer.
Step 2: Mounting the Vertical Stabilizer
❑ Mix and apply a generous amount of 30 minute epoxy to the bottom of the vertical stabilizer and to the slot in the
trailing edge of the horizontal stabilizer.
❑ Push the stabilizer down into place and realign it, double-checking all of your measurements once more before the
epoxy sets up. Quickly remove the excess epoxy and use pieces of masking tape to hold the stabilizer in place until the
epoxy has fully cured.
Step 3: Aligning the Stabilizer Assembly
❑ Using a modeling knife, remove the covering material
from the stabilizer gluing surfaces on the fuselage.
☞
Make sure to remove any covering that's inside the slot
in the back of the fuselage.
❑ Test-fit the stabilizer assembly to the fuselage. When
aligned properly, the mounting post should fit flush inside
the slot in the back of the fuselage, the stabilizer assembly
should be pushed down firmly, and the front of the stabilizer
assembly should be even with the fuselage sides and turtle deck.
❑ When satisfied with the alignment use pieces of masking tape to hold the stabilizer assembly firmly in place.
