5) Remove the stabilizer. Using the lines
you just drew as a guide, carefully remove the
covering from between them using a model-
ing 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 re-
move 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, apply C/A glue to the top and
bottom of the stabilizer mounting area and to
the stabilizer mounting platform sides.

VERTICAL STABILIZER INSTALLATION.

Hinge.
1) Using a modeling knife, remove the
covering from over the precut hinge slot cut
into the lower rear portion of the fuselage. This
slot accepts the lower rudder hinge.
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 stabi-
lizer should also be firmly pushed against the
top of the horizontal stabilizer.
