1. Find and open the holes in the stabilizer covering for the

attachment bolts. Attach the stabilizer to the fuselage using
two 2mm x 15mm bolts, two 2mm nuts and four 2mm washers.
Use thread lock on the nuts to prevent loosening. Note: The fin
was removed on these images for clarity.

2. The fin comes pre-installed on the Spectra Select, but

you should check that the hex nuts are tight. Also, you
should use some Great Planes Pro Threadlocker to prevent
the nuts from coming loose.

3. Verify that the rudder clevis is attached to the 4th hole

from the inside of the rudder’s control horn. Also, make sure
that the silicone retainer is properly installed on the clevis.
