warnIng When cutting through the covering to remove it in the next step, cut with only enough pressure to cut through only the
covering itself. Cutting down into the balsa structure could weaken the vertical stabiliser and cause it to fail during flight.

q Cut away the covering material from over the two vertical stabiliser mounting
slots in the top of the wing. Each mounting slot is 3/16" (5mm) wide and 3-3/8"
(86mm) long. The back edge of each mounting slot is located 1-1/8" (29mm)
in front of the elevon hinge line and the centre of each mounting slot is 2-1/2"
(64mm) out from each side of the radio compartment.
q Push one vertical stabiliser down into one mounting slot, then draw a line on
each side of the vertical stabiliser where it meets the top of the wing. Draw an
outline onto the top of the wing around the base of the vertical stabiliser, too.
q Remove the vertical stabiliser and cut away the covering material from both
sides of the vertical stabiliser and from the base of the vertical stabiliser, too.
q Carefully cut away the covering material from within the outline you drew
on top of the wing.
q Glue the vertical stabiliser into place, using 5 minute epoxy. Wipe away any
excess epoxy and hold the vertical stabiliser in place until the epoxy has
set up.
IMPORTANT Use a builder's triangle to make sure that the vertical
stabiliser is perpendicular to the wing.
q Repeat the previous procedures to align and install the second vertical
stabiliser on the other half of the wing.
