3. Temporarily bolt the bottom wing to the fuselage with the
two included nylon wing bolts. Slide the horizontal stabilizer

remove the stab and lightly sand the slot to align the stab
with the wing.

4. Perform a
trial-run
of fi nal stab alignment before doing
it with glue;
A. Center the stab laterally taking measurements from both

trailing edge into place.

C. Insert a pin into the fuselage centered over the stringer at
the front of the hatch opening. Use an inelastic string around
the pin with a line drawn on a strip of masking tape to check
rotational stab alignment. Slide the tape along the string and
rotate the stab until both tips align with the line on the tape.
