Using a scribe or pen, carefully mark along the sides of the Fuselage.
Install the 2 Main Wings using the Aluminum Wing Tube. If it fits too
tight use some 600 grit Sand Paper.
Position the Stabilizer over the Fuselage and center it using a ruler and
level with the main Wings.
HINT: Use a tape measure or string to make sure the distance from the
nose to each Stabilizer tip is the same so that it is aligned square.
Remove the covering just inside these marks using a sharp Xacto knife.
HINT: Use a small amount of heat from a heat gun when removing
any covering.
NOTE: Before gluing the Stabilizer test fit the Rudder. If you see
space between the top of the Stab and the Rudder, glue a spacer
under the Stab to fill the gap. You may also have to sand the front
"key" of the Rudder so it sits all the way down.
Re­position the Stabilizer over the Fuselage and when satisfied with
the fit, glue it in place using Epoxy.
