To assembly the stabilizer to the fuselage it is necessary to permanently glue it with 30 to 40 minutes epoxy

glue. This procedure must be done very carefully as it is a very important structural part of the model aircraft.

Start by testing the fit of the stabilizer to the fuselage and sand where you think it is necessary so that the

stabilizer is inserted from the back to the front of the fuselage, filling in the side spaces and touching the

stabilizer fins that are already glued to the fuselage at factory.

Once satisfied, remove the stabilizer and sand the top and bottom center with coarse sandpaper (60 or 80

grit) to increase the adhesion of the epoxy glue on the surface. Drill a hole in the fuselage, at the bottom where

the stabilizer will be glued, allowing the passage of the elevator mini servos extensions into the model aircraft.

Also sand the part where the stabilizer will enter the fuselage, at the top and bottom. Before gluing, apply

adhesive tape (masking tape) on the parts close to the gluing area, both on the fuselage and on the stabilizer,

to later remove the excess that will come out when sliding the stabilizer on the fuselage with glue.

into the fuselage (right).

Apply 30 to 40 minutes epoxy glue on the upper and lower parts of the stabilizer, on the glued area on the

fuselage and on the slots where the fins already glued to the fuselage will be inserted, spreading evenly. Insert

the extensions with the locks through the hole made at the bottom of the glue area on the fuselage and slide

the stabilizer, forcing the model aircraft´s vertical stabilizer upwards so that the glue remains in all areas. Once

fully inserted, remove any excess glue with a cloth dampened with alcohol. Note the alignment between the

stabilizer and the wing and correct them so that they are horizontally parallel when viewed from the rear and

with the same distance between the wing tip and the stabilizer on both sides as shown in the illustrations below:
