Installing Vertical Stabilizer - Seagull Models BUNKER BU 133 Instruction Manual

Bunker Bu 133
When cutting through the covering to re-
move it, cut with only enough pressure to only
cut through the covering itself. Cutting into
the balsa structure may weaken it.
6) Using a modeling knife, carefully re-
move the covering that overlaps the sta-
bilizer mounting platform sides in the
fuselage. Remove the covering from both
the top and the bottom of the platform
sides.
7) When you are sure that everything
is aligned correctly, mix up a generous
amount of 30 Minute Epoxy. Apply a thin
layer to the top and bottom of the stabi-
lizer mounting area and to the stabilizer
mounting platform sidesin the fuselage.
Slide the stabilizer in place and realign.
Double check all of your measurements
once more before the epoxy cures. Hold
the stabilizer in place with T-pins or
masking tape and remove any excess
epoxy using a paper towel and rubbing
alcohol.

8) After the epoxy has fully cured, remove
the masking tape or T-pins used to hold
the stabilizer in place. Carefully inspect
the glue joints. Use more epoxy to fill
in any gaps that may exist that were not
filled previously and clean up the excess
using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol.
