16. When satisfied with the fit, draw match-up
lines on both the stab and the fuse to show the correct
location of the stab on the fuselage.
17. Using a sharp-bladed hobby knife, strip
covering from the stab at the points where the stab and
fuse mate, being sure to leave 1/8" to 3/16" of covering
overlap, as shown above. Erase any marks that will show
after the installation.
18. Mix epoxy as before (about 2 large spoon-
fuls), and glue the stab in place on the fuselage. Check
again to make certain the tail assembly is level and
straight. Allow epoxy to dry THOROUGHLY.
1. Collect the following parts:
(1) Fin/rudder assembly
(1) Small control horn
(2) #2-56 x ½" screws
2. Remove the wing. Add a drop of thin CA
to the fin/rudder hinges, as you have done with the aileron
and elevator hinges. When dry, CHECK TO MAKE SURE
THE HINGES ARE SECURELY GLUED by pulling gently,
but firmly, on the rudder.
3. Making sure your rudder/fin assembly is
facing the same direction as the above photo, measure up
from the bottom of the rudder ½" (12 mm.) Put a mark,
next to the hinge line, for the location of the control horn.
4. Separate the nut plate from the small con-
trol horn.
CAUTION: In the following step, take great care to avoid
cutting into the wood structure underneath the covering!
