Tail Assembly

1. Trim out the covering and the wood piece at the tail of the plane.
2. Temporarily install the wing. Next, place the horizontal
stabilizer in place. Visually inspect the wing and stabilizer to see
if they are parallel. If not, sand the higher side of the stabilizer
mount until the stabilizer is parallel. It is critical for proper
performance that these two surfaces are parallel. Take
extra time to ensure a correct fit.
3. Next, take a piece of string and attach it with a pin to the top
center of the fuselage. Make sure that the stabilizer is centered
and stretch the string to the corner of the elevator . Adjust the
positioning of the stabilizer so that both corners are the same
length when moving the string from side to side.
