1. Carefully sand the entire surface of the fuselage sides no. 5 and no. 7. Glue them to the fuselage no. 6.
2. Carefully sand the entire surface of the tail boom longerons no. 10 and glue them to the fuselage.
3. Glue the fin parts no. 12 and no. 13 together on a flat building board protected with a sheet of thin plastic film. Once the glue has set, round the leading and trailing edge of the fin.
4. Glue the fin between the tail boom longerons no.10.
5. Sand to fit if necessary and then glue the no. 11 brace between the tail boom longerons no. 10.
6. Glue the wing seat supports no. 8 to the fuselage.
7. Drill out the hole for the no. 9 wing dowel using 3 mm drill bit. Insert the dowel in place.
8. Cut off the rudder from the fin no. 12. The dashed lines on the building plan mark the position of rudder wire hinges. Stick the modelling pin into the front edge of the rudder. Enlarge the hole slightly by twirling the pin carefully. Make the other holes for the wire hinges in the rudder and fin. Cut two 8 mm pieces of the supplied wire and glue them half-way into the holes in the fin. Once the glue has set, glue the rudder onto the protruding wires.

10. Prepare and install the elevator hinges and elevator in the same manner as you did with the rudder.
11. Bevel lightly the sides of tabs on the top of the fin no. 13 in order to fit the corresponding notches in the horizontal tailplane no. 14.
12. Glue the horizontal tailplane on the top of the fin. Use the wing assembly jig to be sure it was square to the fin.
