Required Parts

• Fuselage w/tail installed

Required Tools and Adhesives

• Adjustable wrench • Felt-tipped pen

• Hobby knife • 30-minute epoxy

• Straight edge

This section is optional and describes how

to permanently glue the tail section to the

fuselage. If you do not want to glue the

tail to the fuselage, feel free to continue

to Section 7: Engine Installation.

 Step 1

Use a felt-tipped pen to trace the outline of the fuselage

onto the bottom of the stabilizer. Also trace the outline of

the fin fairing onto the top of the stabilizer using a felt-

tipped pen.

 Step 2

Remove the tail from the fuselage. Use a straight

edge and hobby knife to trim the covering about

1/16" (1.5mm) inside the lines drawn on the top and

bottom of the stabilizer.

Note: Be very careful when cutting the

covering. Using too much pressure

can through the covering and into

the stabilizer. Doing so will score the

stabilizer and it may fail in flight.

Hint: Use a soldering iron or hot knife to

trim the covering on the stabilizer. This will

lower the chances of scoring the stabilizer.

 Step 3

Mix about 1/2 oz (15ml) of 30-minute epoxy. Apply the

epoxy to the exposed wood on both the top and bottom

of the stabilizer. Install the tail back onto the fuselage as

described in Section 6. Use a paper towel and rubbing

alcohol to remove any excess epoxy before it has a

chance to cure.
