Installing Vertical Stabilizer - Seagull Models SuperDave MX2 Assembly Manual

5) Remove the stabilizer. Using the lines you
just drew as a guide, carefully remove the
covering from between them using a mod-
eling knife.
When cutting through the covering to
remove 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 remove
the covering that overlaps the stabilizer
mounting platform sides in the fuselage. Re-
move 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 stabilizer mounting
area and to the stabilizer mounting platform
sides in 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.
