4. Remove the stabilizer. Using the lines
you just drew as a guide, carefully remove the
covering from between them using a modeling
knife.
When cutting through the cover-

self. Cutting into the balsa structure may
weaken it. This could lead to possible fail-

.
Check to mark sure the wing and stabi-
lizer are paralell. If they are not, lightly sand
the opening in the fuselage for the stabilizer
until the stabilizer is paralell to the wing.
5. When you are sure that everything is
aligned correctly, mix up a generous amount
of 30 minute epoxy. Apply a thin layer to the
top and bottom of the stabilizer mounting area
and to the stabilizer mounting platform sides
in the fuselage. Slide the stabilizer in place and
re-align. Double check all of your measure-
ments one more time before the epoxy cures.
Remove any excess epoxy using a paper
towel and rubbing alcohol and hold the stabi-
lizer in place with T-pins or masking tape.
6. After the epoxy has fully cured, remove
the masking tape or T-pins used to hold the
stabilizer in place and carefully inspect the
glue joints. Use more epoxy to fill in any
gaps that were not filled previously and
clean up the excess using a paper towel and
rubbing alcohol.
