 Step 1
Insert the stabilizer tubes into one of the stabilizer
halves. The short tube is placed towards the leading
edge of the stabilizer.
 Step 2
Drill through the hole into the stabilizer and tap for a
4-40 bolt. Install a 4-40 x 1/2" bolt to secure the tube
in the stabilizer.
Warning: Use caution when drilling
through the stabilizer tube. Only drill
through one wall of the tube.
 Step 3
Slide the assembly into the fuselage. Slide the
remaining stab half onto the tubes and drill and tap
the location for the 4-40 retaining bolt. Install the bolt
to complete the procedure.
Hint: When removing the stabilizer for
storage, remove only one bolt, leaving the
tube secured in the remaining stabilizer.
Trying to install the tube without the aid of
an alignment guide can be frustrating.
