STAB, FIN & RUDDER
❐
Install the blind nuts into the fuselage and bolt on the wings.
❐
Install the bolts into the wings.
❐
Run a bead of Zap-A-Dap-A-Goo II™ along the bottom surfaces of
the fairing balsa and along the front inside of the fiberglass. Attach to
the wing assembly and let sit overnight.
II. Install the Stab, Fin & Rudder
The G202-140 stabilizer can be installed two different ways:
removable stab and permanently mounted stab. In our construction,
we have opted for the permanent one.
❐
Locate the two holes on each side of the rear of the fuselage and
remove the covering film from them.
❐
Insert the two carbon fiber spars into the fuselage and center them.
Next slide one stab onto the spars on one side.
Removable Stab:
❐
Locate and remove the covering material from the two holes on the
bottom of the stabilizers.
❐
With a 1/16" drill bit drill one hole through the tubes and spars in
the holes on the bottom of the stab. BE CAREFUL NOT TO DRILL ALL
THE WAY THROUGH THE STAB.
Note: Predrill the 1/16" holes in the stabs first;
when the stabs are in place you will know to
drill only through the first layer of the spars.
