Make sure to center the stabilizer left-to-right on the
fuselage. Use a T-pin at the back of the stabilizer to
hold it in position for the following step.
6. Use a ruler to measure from a point center at

the front of the fuselage to each of the tips of the
stabilizer. The measurements must be equal for the
best performance from your model. Use a second
T-pin to keep the stabilizer in position for the
following step.
7. With the fuselage resting flat on your work

surface, check to verify the stabilizer is parallel
to the work surface. Lightly sand the area of the
fuselage where the stabilizer rests to correct any
alignment problems.
