INSTALLING THE HORIZONTAL
1) Using a ruler and a pen, locate the
centerline of the horizontal stabilizer, at
the trailing edge, and place a mark. Use a
triangle and extend this mark, from back
to front, across the top of the stabilizer.
Also extend this mark down the back of
the trailing edge of the stabilizer.
2) Using a modeling knife, carefully re-
move the covering at mounting slot of
horizontal stabilizer ( both side of fuse-
lage).

3) Slide the stabilizer into place in the
precut slot in the rear of the fuselage. The
stabilizer should be pushed firmly against
the front of the slot.

4) With the stabilizer held firmly in place,
use a pen and draw lines onto the stabi-
lizer where it and the fuselage sides meet.
Do this on both the right and left sides
and top and bottom of the stabilizer.

5) Remove the stabilizer. Using the lines
you just drew as a guide, carefully remove
the covering from between them using a
modeling knife.
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.
6) Using a modeling knife, carefully re-
move the covering that overlaps the stabi-
lizer mounting platform sides in the fuse-
lage. Remove the covering from both the
top and the bottom of the platform sides.
