stabilizer is aligned with the wing. Lightly sand the stabilizer
saddle on the fuselage to correct any misalignment.
115. Measure from each wing tip to each stabilizer tip. Adjust the
stabilizer so the measurements are the same for both sides.
116. Use a felt-tipped pen to transfer the fuselage outline onto the
bottom of the stabilizer.
117. Carefully cut the covering 1/8 inch (3 mm) inside the line
drawn on the bottom of the stabilizer to remove the covering
