Step 3
Slide the horizontal and vertical stabilizers tightly together
as shown. You will need to deflect the rudder to allow the
rudder control horn to pass by the elevator.

Step 4
Slide the threaded rods into the holes in the aft end of the
fuselage as shown.

Step 5
Slide the tail assembly tightly against the fuselage. Make
sure to guide the portion of the vertical stabilizer with the tail
wheel carefully into the slot at the rear of the fuselage so the
fuselage is not damaged by side loads.

Secure the tail assembly to the fuselage using two #4 fender
washers and two 4-40 lock nuts. Use a 1/4-inch nut driver
or box wrench to tighten the nuts. Make sure not to over-
tighten the nuts and accidentally damage the sub-fin or
fuselage.
