2. Center the horizontal stabilizer in the slot in the fuselage.

Stand back and look at the stab in relation to the wing. The

stab should be parallel with the wing. If not, sand the stab

saddle until the stab and wings are aligned.

❏

3. Measure the distance from the tip of the stab to the

center of the fuselage. Adjust the position of the stab until

they are equal.

❏

4. Using a ﬁ ne-point felt-tip pen, mark the outline of the

fuselage on the top and the bottom of the stab.

5. Cut the covering on the top and bottom of the stab

inside the line you have drawn. Use care to cut only into the

covering and not into the wood.

HOW TO CUT COVERING FROM BALSA

Use a soldering iron to cut the covering from the stabilizer.

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

a ﬁ ne-tip does work best. Allow the iron to heat fully.

Use a 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

ﬁ ne cut. Peel off the covering.

6. Wipe away the lines you drew. Insert the elevator joiner

wire in the notch at the back of the stab saddle. Use epoxy to

glue the stab in place, being careful that the stab is properly

aligned. Wipe off any excess epoxy from the stab and fuselage

with a paper towel dampened with denatured alcohol. Recheck

that the stab is still aligned.

You can now remove the wings and continue with the assembly

of the fuselage.
