Notice in the picture above the proper direction
of the fairings. Again using a dermal tool and a
small sanding bit, enlarge the openings of the
fairings so that they slide on and easily locate in
their final positions. Also note that you may
make these openings a bit larger than the landing
gear. (Even the full size plane is this way).
Trail fit all parts before final assembly. Note in
the picture above that it was necessary to slot the
bottom side if the wheel pant fairing to flush fit
over the gear.
The fairings will fit around the wheel pant with
no need for glue.
Mount the landing gear to the fuselage using the
4 bolts and lock washers provided. Leave the
fuselage fairings loose for the time being.
TAIL ASSEMBLY
STABILIZER
PLEASE NOTE: - The Stabilizer is NOT flat.
There is a slight airfoil, so be careful to mount it
properly, with the FLAT SIDE on the bottom.
On this model, I found that the easiest way to
square the Stabilizer was to mount a stick across
the front of the fuselage using the cowl bolts to
hold it on.
Next, trial fit the stabilizer, ensuring that the
measurements from the front mounted stick to
the back outside edge of the Stabilizer is
EXTACTLY the same on both sides and that the
length of the trailing edge from the fuselage is
EXACTLY the same on both sides.
Next, using a pen or pencil, mark the stabilizer
against the fuselage, both sides, top and bottom.
