Mix some 30-minute epoxy and use a mixing stick to
apply it to the n slot in the top of the fuselage and
inside the opening for the tailpost.
􀀀 Step 23
Insert the n and rudder in the fuselage. Use the
marked lines on the n to make sure it is seated fully.
Use rubbing alcohol and paper towels to clean any
excess epoxy and remove the lines from the n.
Support the rear of the fuselage while the glue
cures so that the tailwheel is not contacting the work
surface. This will prevent the n and rudder from
moving out of position.
