Installing The Horizontal Stabilizer - Seagull Models Turbo Raven Assembly Manual

INSTALLING THE HORIZONTAL
STABILIZER.
1) Using a ruler and a pen, locate the
centerline of the horizontal stabilizer, at the trail-
ing edge, and place a mark. Use a triangle
and extend this mark, from back to front,
across the top of the stabilizer. Also extend
this mark down the back of the trailing edge of
the stabilizer.
Draw center line.
2) Using a modeling knife, carefully re-
move the covering at mounting slot of horizon-
tal stabilizer ( both side of fuselage).
3) Put the stabilizer into place in the po-
sition of the fuselage.

Repeat the procedure for the other aileron servo.
Remove covering.
4) Install the stabilizer onto the fuselage.
Align the centerline drawn on the top and the
rear of the stabilizer with the centre of the fu-
selage. When that is aligned, hold the stabi-
lizer in that position using T-pins or masking
tape. Align the horizontal stabilizer with the
wing. When viewed from the rear, the hori-
zontal stabilizer should be level with the wing.
If it is not level, use sandpaper and sand down
the high side of the stabilizer mounting plat-
form until the proper alignment is achieved.
The tips of the stabilizer should also be equal
distance from the tips of the wing.
5) When you are satisfied with the align-
ment, hold the stabilizer in place with T- pins
or masking tape, but do not glue at this time.
