INSTALLING VERTICAL STABILIZER
1) Using a modeling knife, remove the
covering from over the precut hinge slot
cut into the lower rear portion of the fu-
selage. This slot accepts the lower rudder
hinge.
Remove covering.
Fill Epoxy
2) Slide the vertical stabilizer into the slot in
the top of the fuselage. The rear edge of the
stabilizer should be flush with the rear edge
of the fuselage and the lower rudder hinge
should engage the precut hinge slot in the
lower fuselage. The bottom edge of the sta-
bilizer should also be firmly pushed against
the top of the horizontal stabilizer.
3) While holding the vertical stabilizer
firmly in place, use a pen and draw a
line on eachside of the vertical stabilizer
where it meets the top of the fuselage.
4) Slide the vertical stabilizer back in-
place. Using a triangle, check to ensure
that the vertical stabilizer is aligned 90º
to the horizontal stabilizer.
