1-Trial fit the horizontal stabilizer in place .
Check the alignment of the horizontal stabilizer.
When you are satisfied with the alignment, use
a pencil to trace around the top and bottom of
the stabilizer where it meets the fuselage.
2-Remove the horizontal stabilizer from the
fuselage. Using the sharp hobby knife, carefully
cut away the covering inside the lines which
were marked above, do not cut the balsa.
3-Spread epoxy (30 minute) onto the top and
bottom of the horizontal stabilizer along the
area where the covering was removed and to
the fuselage where the horizontal stabilizer
mounts.
4-Install the horizontal stabilizer into the fuselage
and adust the alignment as described in steep 1.
Allow the epoxy to cure before proceeding to
next step.
Do the same way with the vertical stabilizer.

5-Push the elevator and its hinges into the hinge slots
in the trailing edge of the horizontal stabilizer. There
should be a minimal hinge gap.
6-When satisfied with the and alignment, hinge the
elevator to the horizontal stabilizer using thin CA glue.
Make sure to apply a thin layer of CA glue to the top
and bottom of both hinges and to inside the hinge
slots.
7-Repeat the previous procedures to hinge the second
elevator to the other side of the horizontal stabilizer.
Do the same way with the rudder.
