When cutting through the covering to

remove it, cut with only enough pressure

to only cut through the covering itself. Cut-

ting into the balsa structure may weaken

it.

Remove the covering.

 8) Using a modeling knife, carefully re-

move the covering that overlaps the stabilizer

mounting platform sides in the fuselage. Re-

move the covering from both the top and the

bottom of the platform sides.

Pen.

 7) Remove the stabilizer. Using the lines

you just drew as a guide, carefully remove the

covering from between them using a model-

ing knife.

 5) When you are satisfied with the align-

ment, hold the stabilizer in place with T- pins

or masking tape, but do not glue at this time.

 4) Install the stabilizer onto the fuselage.

Align the centerline drawn on the top and the

rear of the stabilizer with the centre of the fu-

selage. When that is aligned, hold the stabi-

lizer in that position using T-pins or masking

tape. Align the horizontal stabilizer with the

wing. When viewed from the rear, the hori-

zontal stabilizer should be level with the wing.

If it is not level, use sandpaper and sand down

the high side of the stabilizer mounting plat-

form until the proper alignment is achieved.

The tips of the stabilizer should also be equal

distance from the tips of the wing.

 3) Put the stabilizer into place in the

position of the fuselage.

Cut.

Remove the covering.

Hinge slot.

 6) With the stabilizer held firmly in place,

use a pen and draw lines onto the stabilizer

where it and the fuselage sides meet. Do this

on both the right and left sides and top and

bottom of the stabilizer.

 9) When you are sure that everything is

aligned correctly, mix up a generous amount

of 30 Minute Epoxy. Apply a thin layer to the

bottom of the stabilizer mounting area and to

the stabilizer mounting platform sides in the

fuselage. Putting the stabilizer in place and

realign. Double check all of your measure-

ments once more before the epoxy cures.

Hold the stabilizer in place with T-pins or mask-

ing tape and remove any excess epoxy using

a paper towel and rubbing alcohol.

Epoxy.
