4. Test fi t the joiner wire and make sure it goes all the way
into both elevators.
5. Test fi t the elevators to the stab with the joiner wire and
the hinges. Be certain the elevators are parallel with each
other and that the gaps still exist between the ends of the
stab and the elevator balance tabs. If necessary, remove the
wire and bend it so the elevators will be parallel with each
other and lie fl at on your workbench.

6. Separate the elevators from the stab and take out the
hinges. Install the stab into the fuselage. Taking accurate
measurements from side-to-side, center the trailing edge by
equalizing the distance between both ends of the stab and
the fuselage.
7. Once the stab is centered, stick pins into the trailing
edge tightly to both sides of the fuselage, holding the trailing
edge in place.
8. Stick another pin into the top of the front of the
fuselage centered over the stringer. Tie a loop in one end of
an approximately 30" [760mm] length of K+S #801 Kevlar
thread or similar non-elastic line.
