Instruction Manual

 

1.  Using  a modeling   knife,   cut  away the

 covering from the fuselage for  the  stabilizer
 and remove it.

 

2.  Draw a center line onto the horizontal

stabilizer. Then slide the horizontal into the
fuselage.

 

3.  Mark the shape of the vertical on the left

and right sides onto the horizontal stabilizer
using a felt-tip pen

Mark pen

 

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 covering to
remove it, cut with only enough pressure
to only cut through the covering it’s self.
Cutting into the balsa structure may
weaken it. This could lead to possible fail-
ure during flight

Remove covering.

 

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.

Assemble then apply drops of thin
C/A to center of hinge,on both sides.
