Step 1: Aligning the Vertical Stabilizer
❑ Remove the rudder and hinges from the vertical stabilizer and set them aside for now.
❑ Remove the elevator and hinges from the horizontal stabilizer and set them aside.
❑ Using a modeling knife, cut away and remove the covering
material from over the vertical stabilizer mounting slot in the
top of the horizontal stabilizer.
❑ Push the vertical stabilizer down into place. To align it
properly, it should be even with the back edge of the horizontal
stabilizer and it should be pushed down firmly.
❑ Using a builder's triangle, check to make sure that the
vertical stabilizer is aligned 90º to the horizontal stabilizer.
❑ While holding the vertical stabilizer firmly in place, use a pencil to draw a line on each side of the stabilizer where it
meets the top of the horizontal stabilizer.
