3) Slide the vertical stabilizer back in
place. Using a triangle, check to ensure that
the vertical stabilizer is aligned 90º to the hori-
zontal stabilizer.
2) While holding the vertical stabilizer
firmly in place, use a pen and draw a line on
each side of the vertical stabilizer where it
meets the top of the fuselage.
4) When you are sure that everything is
aligned correctly, mix up a generous amount of
Flash 30 Minute Epoxy. Apply a thin layer to the
mounting slot and to bottom of the vertical sta-
bilizer mounting area. Apply epoxy to the bot-
tom and top edges of the filler block and to the
lower
hinge also. Set the stabilizer in place
and realign. Double check all of your measure-
ments once more before the epoxy cures. Hold
the stabilizer in place wit
h T-pins or masking
tape and remove any excess epoxy using a
paper towel and rubbing alcohol. Allow the ep-
oxy to fully cure before proceeding.Be very
careful not to get epoxy glue in the pushrod
tubes.
 2) Using a modeling knife, carefully remove
the covering at mounting slot of horizontal sta-
bilizer ( both side of fuselage).
Remove covering.
 3) Put the stabilizer into place in the po-
sition of the fuselage.
 5) When you are satisfied with the align-
ment, hold the stabilizer in place with T- pins
or masking tape, but do not glue at this time.
 4) Install the stabilizer onto the fuselage.
Align the centerline drawn on the top and the
rear of the stabilizer with the centre of the fu-
selage. When that is aligned, hold the stabi-
lizer in that position using T-pins or masking
tape. Align the horizontal stabilizer with the
wing. When viewed from the rear, the hori-
zontal stabilizer should be level with the wing.
If it is not level, use sandpaper and sand down
the high side of the stabilizer mounting plat-
form until the proper alignment is achieved.
The tips of the stabilizer should also be equal
distance from the tips of the wing.
INSTALLING THE HORIZONTAL STABILIZER.
1) Using a ruler and a pen, locate the
centerline of the horizontal stabilizer, at the trail-
ing edge, and place a mark. Use a triangle
and extend this mark, from back to front,
across the top of the stabilizer. Also extend
this mark down the back of the trailing edge of
the stabilizer.
