Slide the assembly into the fuselage. Slide the
remaining stab half onto the tube 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.
