TAIL ASSEMBLY
Install the stabilizer hold down plate with epoxy.
Center it carefully and allow to cure.
Shine a strong light through the stabilizer and
locate the two holes at each end for the flying wire
supports and the center holes for the hold down
plate. Open the holes with a pin.
Drill the two holes in the fin for the flying wire
supports. The two holes should be ½-inch in from
the hinge line, 3 ½-inches apart and 2 ½-inches
down from the fin top. This will place them in the
center of the horizontal support in the fin.
Measure and locate the exact center of the
stabilizer. Using a felt tip pen draw a line on
center.
Carefully line up the rudderpost. Slide the
stabilizer in position with the centerline in the
middle of the rudder slot.
Insert a pin in the center of the turtle deck at the
top of the fuselage. Move the string from one
corner of the stabilizer to the other until it is square
with the fuselage and the line is still in the center of
the rudder slot.
With a felt tip marker, trace the outline of the
fuselage on the top of the stabilizer.
