 Step 1
Insert the vertical fin in the fuselage. Mark
the edges using a pen.
Note that the vertical fin fits tightly in the
fuselage. If you have any problem dry fitting
the covering on the vertical fin, DO NOT
force it in as you may break the fuselage
opening. Remove some covering on the
conservative side until the vertical fin fits in
the fuselage. You can use pictures in Step 2
as reference.
 Step 2
Remove the vertical fin and covering 1/8 inch
inside the lines you marked. Make sure not
to scar the vertical fin. Use a new blade and
change as needed. Then go over the edges
with a heating iron.
If you scar the balsa, go over it with thin CA
before final assembly.
Note the measurements shown in the
following pictures are approximate. Make sure
to go by your markings.
