 STABILIZER INSTALLATION

Î Check the stabilizer mounting surface on the

fuselage to make sure it is flush with the fuselage

sides. If the fuselage sides protrude beyond the

stabilizer mounting surface, then sand them flush.

1. Remove the elevators from the stabilizer. Fit the stabilizer

into the notch in the fuselage. Center the stabilizer.

2. Measure from the tip of the stabilizer to the wing.

Position the stabilizer so both measurements are equal.

3. Check the alignment of the stabilizer to the wing. It

should be equal on both sides of the fuselage.

4. Check all alignments. Mark the outline of the fuselage on

the top of the stabilizer.

5. Use a ruler and carefully cut the covering 1/8 inch (3

mm) inside the line drawn on the stabilizer to remove

the covering from the center of the stabilizer. Remove

the top and bottom covering. Use care not to cut into the

underlying wood, weakening the stabilizer.

6. Use a paper towel and isopropyl alcohol to remove the

lines from the stabilizer.

7. Mix 1/2 ounce (15ml) of 30-minute epoxy. Use an epoxy

brush to apply epoxy to the exposed wood on the top of

the stabilizer.

8. Use an epoxy brush to apply epoxy to the stabilizer

mounting surface in the notch in the fuselage for the

stabilizer.

9. Fit the stabilizer back into position. Check the alignment

following steps 1 through 3, then use a paper towel and

isopropyl alcohol to remove any excess epoxy from the

fuselage and stabilizer.
