Remove covering.
When cutting through the covering to
remove it, cut with only enough pressure
to only cut through the covering itself. Cut-
ting into the balsa structure may weaken
it.
! 8) Using a modeling knife, carefully re-
move the covering that overlaps the stabilizer
mounting platform sides in the fuselage. Re-
move the covering from both the top and the
bottom of the platform sides.
! 9) When you are sure that everything is
aligned correctly, mix up a generous amount
of 30 Minute Epoxy. Apply a thin layer to the
bottom of the stabilizer mounting area and to
the stabilizer mounting platform sides in the
fuselage. Slide the stabilizer in place and re-
align. Double check all of your measurements
once more before the epoxy cures. Hold the
stabilizer in place with T-pins or masking tape
and remove any excess epoxy using a paper
towel and rubbing alcohol.
! 10) After the epoxy has fully cured, re-
move the masking tape or T-pins used to hold
the stabilizer in place. Carefully inspect the
glue joints. Use more epoxy to fill in any gaps
that may exist that were not filled previously
and clean up the excess using a paper towel
and rubbing alcohol.
