5) When you are sure that everything is
aligned correctly, mix up a generous amount
of 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 sta-
bilizer mounting area. Set the stabilizer in
place and realign. Double check alignment
once more before the epoxy cures. Hold the
stabilizer in place with masking tape and re-
move any excess epoxy using a paper towel
and rubbing al¬cohol. Allow the epoxy to
fully cure before proceeding.
