Step 4
Slide the stab into the fuselage, making sure the
stabilizer is as far forward as possible. Center the
stab in the opening by measuring the distance
from the fuselage to each tip. The stab is aligned
when both measurements are identical.
Hint: Place the elevators in position on the
stabilizer to help in centering the stabilizer. DO
NOT glue the hinges until instructed to do so.
Step 5
Check the distance from each stab tip to
each wing tip. These measurements must
be equal for the stab to be aligned.
Step 6
Check to make sure the wing and stabilizer are parallel.
If they are not, lightly sand the opening in the fuselage
for the stab until the stab is parallel to the wing.
Step 7
After verifying the alignment of the stabilizer, use a felt-
tipped pen to trace the outline of the fuselage on the stab.
