3. Test fi t the tail gear wire into the rudder and fi t the vertical
and horizontal stabilizers into the fuselage.
4. View the model from behind and check the alignment
between the horizontal stabilizer and the wing. If necessary,
adjust the slot in the fuselage to get the stab horizontally
aligned with the wing—in most cases, all that will be required
is a small amount of weight on the high side of the stab.
5. Remove the stab and fi n from the fuselage. Use
30-minute epoxy to glue the tail gear wire into the rudder
and glue the stab and fi n into the fuselage. Use more paper
towel squares dampened with denatured alcohol to wipe
away residual epoxy. If any weight was required to level the
stab with the wing don't forget to reposition the weight and
double-check the alignment before the epoxy hardens.
6. Use the holes in the tail gear bracket as a guide to
drill 1/16" [1.6mm] holes into the bottom of the fuselage for
the mounting screws. Screw three M2.5 x 8 screws into the
holes, remove the screws, add a few drops of thin CA to the
holes, allow to fully harden, then mount the gear bracket to
the fuse with the screws. Mount the tail wheel with a small
collar and a M3 set screw and threadlocker.
7. Tighten the collar up against the tail gear bracket with
an M3 set screw wetted with threadlocker.
