􀀀 Step 4

Insert the stabilizer in the fuselage and slide it to the

front of the slot. Use a ruler to measure the trailing

edge length of the left and right sides. Adjust the

position of the stabilizer until the dimensions are the

same (approximately 8 5/8 inches).

􀀀 Step 5

Use the string to square the stabilizer to the fuselage

by measuring to each tip. Place a tab of low-tack

tape on the string to use as a reference point. So that

the trailing edge dimensions are maintained, make

any adjustments by rotating rather than sliding the

stabilizer.

􀀀 Step 6

Verify that the trailing edge lengths are still matched

then mark the stabilizer along the top and bottom

fuselage sides with a felt-tipped pen.

􀀀 Step 7

Remove the stabilizer from the fuselage. Use a new

#11 blade in a hobby knife to remove a section of

covering 1/8 inch inside the marked line on the top

and bottom of the stabilizer.

Note: Do not press hard on the knife when cutting the

covering. Cutting into the wood of the stabilizer will

weaken it and cause it to fail in ight.

􀀀 Step 8

Locate the wire elevator joiner. Use a piece of coarse

sandpaper to roughen the bent portions to help glue

adhere and provide a stronger bond.

􀀀 Step 9

Use rubbing alcohol and a paper towel to clean the

joiner then insert it in the rear of the stabilizer slot in

the fuselage.
