- Trial fit the parts of the horizontal stabilizer, elevator, fin and rudder – no glue yet! Sand as necessary to obtain the perfect fit. (Fig. 1)
- Please note the opening for the fin fixing plate R10 is slightly offset to the left in R13,T4 and T8 parts. You can turn the parts upside down having the opening offset to the right; but whatever you choose, the offset of all three parts HAS TO MATCH.
- Tack glue the plastic tubes R9 into the fin with a few drops of CA.
- Roughen the surface of the 3×0.5mm R12 carbon spar using No. 150 sandpaper and glue it with medium CA to the trailing edge of the fin. Glue the T9 reinforcement strip to the centre part of the trailing edge of the horizontal stabilizer in the same way.
- Glue together all the balsa parts using medium CA or aliphatic resin.
- Glue the fin root rib R13 (1.2mm plywood); do not forget the opening for the R10 fin fixing plate is supposed to be offset to the left. Use the R11 carbon rods inserted into the R9 tubes as alignment pins for the R13 root rib. Double-check that the root rib is straight and square to the fin. Take care the R11 are not glued into the fin in this step. (Fig. 2)
- Put the tail surfaces aside for now. They will be finished after the tailplane seat is installed to the tail boom.
