Place the fuselage inverted on the workbench in a
suitable stand, or remove the canopy using a 3/32-

Set the landing gear in place and use a #2 Phillips
screwdriver to secure it to the fuselage with the two
8-32 x 3/4-inch screws.

Step 1
Before gluing the stabilizer and n permanently in
place in steps 10 and 22, insert the wing tube in
the fuselage to use as a reference. Check that the
stabilizer is parallel to the wing tube, and that the n is
perpendicular to the stabilizer.
Step 2
Remove the foam block over the elevator control horn,
and the tape holding the elevators to the stabilizer.
Apply a piece of low-tack tape to the lower surface
to help keep it identied. The elevator half with the
control horn goes on the left-hand side.
Step 3
Cut a piece of string 40 inches long. Insert one end in
the upper cowl mounting block and tie a knot so that
the string cannot be pulled from the hole.
