Place the elevator link in the fuselage, hold it to
the rear with a rubber band. Open the link slot in
the rear center of the stabilizer.
Slide the stabilizer back into the fuselage, leaving
3/8-inch of bare wood exposed. Coat the wood
top and bottom with epoxy, slide the stabilizer
through the fuselage exposing the wood on the
other side, and coat the wood with epoxy. Center
the stabilizer and use the string as before to verify
its alignment. Wipe the excess epoxy with a paper
towel moistened with alcohol. Allow to cure
before proceeding.
Remove the rudder from the fin. Slide the fin into
the fuselage and with a felt tip pen outline the
fuselage. Remove the covering 1/8-inch down as
was done with the stabilizer.
Coat both sides of the wood on the fin with epoxy
{
do not coat the inside of the slot or epoxy will be
pushed down on to the elevator link
}. Push the fin
in the slot until it bottoms against the fuselage.
Wipe off excess epoxy with a paper towel
moistened with alcohol.
Install the engine mount beams. Locate the
engine on the beams with the back of the spinner
4-7/8-inches from the firewall. Remove the
engine
