Step 6. Mix approximately 1/4 ounce (minimum) of 30-minute
epoxy and apply it to the vertical stabilizer where it comes into
contact with the fuselage. Also apply epoxy to the base of the
vertical stabilizer where it comes in contact with the horizontal
stabilizer.
Important: It is essential that the vertical stabilizer base be
epoxied to the horizontal stabilizer inside the
fuselage to provide adequate strength. Be sure
to use plenty of epoxy.
Step 7. Insert the fin into the fuselage and wipe away any
excess epoxy using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol.
Step 8. Using a 90-degree triangle, make sure the fin is
perpendicular to the horizontal stabilizer. Use masking tape
to hold the vertical stabilizer in place until the epoxy cures.
