    tiPs frOM tHe PrOs Cleaning up the airframe: You may notice that the airframe has some small pieces of melted foam "strings" left from the hot-wire cutting process. You can remove these quickly by very lightly sanding the foam with 220 grit sandpaper. We don't suggest sanding the painted areas or the paint will be removed, too.

    steP 1: aLiGNiNG tHe staBiLiser q Set the elevator aside for now. q Draw a centreline mark on the trailing edge of the stabiliser. q Slide the stabiliser into the fuselage and align it. The notch in the leading edge should fit around the fuselage sides and the centreline mark you drew should be centred with the middle of the fuselage.
