Section 6: Installing the Tail
Step 14. Mix approximately 1/4 ounce of 30-minute epoxy to
install the vertical stabilizer. Using an epoxy brush or mixing
stick, spread the epoxy on the vertical stabilizer where it contacts
the fuselage and to the bottom of the stabilizer where it will seat
on the horizontal stabilizer. Additionally, apply epoxy through
the vertical stabilizer slot onto the horizontal stabilizer. Do not
apply epoxy to the rudder itself.
Step 15. Insert the vertical stabilizer into the fuselage, ensuring
that it is seated properly on the horizontal stabilizer. Using a 90-
degree triangle, check to make sure that the vertical stabilizer is
perpendicular to the horizontal stabilizer.

Step 16. Wipe off any excess epoxy with a paper towel and
rubbing alcohol, being careful not to disturb the alignment of the
vertical stabilizer.
Step 17. Using masking tape, secure the vertical stabilizer in
place and allow the epoxy to cure completely.
