Elevator/Horizontal Tail Assembly
The tails of the F-4 Phantom cant down
at about a 23 degree angle. For the
installation, you will need the two
tailpieces, the 4 angle brackets, and
epoxy.
1. Install the angle braces using the
same techniques you used for the wing
tips. Be sure to make a right and left
side. Be sure the angle braces are
installed to identical angles.
