Install the Tail Braces

1. Your kit includes two different tail wire brackets. One
bracket has a distinctly sharper angle than the other. The
eight brackets with the steeper angle attach to the top of the
stab and fi n. The four brackets with the shallow angle attach
to the bottom of the stab.
2. Install the brackets in the recesses in the stab and fi n.
Secure the brackets with a 2-56 x 1/2" [12.7mm] machine
screw. Be sure to apply thread locker to the nut. Do this for
all of the brackets.
3. There is a plywood plate located on the bottom of the
fuselage. You can see the outline of the plate if you look at
the covering at a slight angle. Use a pin to locate the pre-
drilled holes in the plywood plate.
