3) When you are sure that everything is
aligned correctly, mix up a generous amount of
Flash 30 Minute Epoxy. Apply a thin layer to the
mounting slot in the top of the fuselage and to
the sides and bottom of the vertical stabilizer
mounting area. Apply epoxy to the bottom and
top edges of the filler block and to the lower
hinge also. Set the stabilizer in place and re-
align. 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. Allow the epoxy to
fully cure before proceeding.
