HOW TO CUT COVERING FROM BALSA

Use a 25-watt soldering iron to cut the covering from the

stab. The tip of the soldering iron doesn't have to be sharp,

but a fine-tip does work best. Allow the iron to heat fully.

Use a metal straightedge to guide the soldering iron at a

rate that will just melt the covering and not burn into the

wood. The hotter the soldering iron, the faster it must

travel to melt a fine cut. Allow the heat to melt the

covering. Do not apply much pressure or the wood may be

damaged. Peel off the covering.

8. Temporarily attach the elevator to the stabilizer with

four CA hinges. Make sure the stabilizer and elevator are

aligned. If needed, use T-pins to hold the CA hinges

centered in the elevator. Apply 3 drops of thin CA on the top

and bottom of each hinge.

❏

9. Reinstall the stabilizer in the fuselage. Use the string

method to align the stabilizer. Then, glue the stabilizer to the

fuselage with thin CA.

❏

10. Cut the covering from over the slot in the fuselage for

the fin.

❏

11. Test fit the fin in the fuselage. Make sure that the fin

is perpendicular to the stabilizer and the TE is flush with the

aft end of the fuselage.

❏

12. Trim the covering from over the slot in the LE of

the rudder.

❏

13. Install three CA hinges in the rudder and test fit it on the

fin. Adjust the position of the fin so that the bottom of the

rudder is even with the bottom of the fuselage and the LE of

the rudder and the TE of the fin are aligned.

❏

14. Use a fine-point felt-tip pen to mark the outline of the

fuselage onto each side of the fin.
