The horizontal tail is held in place using a combination of double-sided tape and small screws. Do not
completely remove the protective backing from the double-sided tape before pushing the horizontal tail into the slot in
the fuselage. If you do, the sticky double-sided tape will make it nearly impossible to push the horizontal tail into position.
Make sure that when you install the horizontal tail, that the top of the horizontal tail is toward the top of the fuselage.
❑
Carefully slide the horizontal tail into the slot in the back
of the fuselage, making sure that the four pieces of
protective backing that you pulled back and creased are
sticking out between the horizontal tail and the fuselage.
❑
Push the horizontal tail into position. When aligned
properly, the horizontal tail should be pushed forward
completely and the outside edges of the strips of
double-sided tape should be centered with the outside edges
of the fuselage, on both the top and the bottom.
❑
Gently pull out, then back on each piece of protective
backing, to remove it from the double-sided tape. After
removing the protective backing, lightly press the top and
bottom of the fuselage against the horizontal tail.
❑
While holding the horizontal tail in place and aligned,
secure it to the fuselage by threading eight small screws
through the pre-drilled holes in the fuselage and into the
horizontal tail.

Four screws should be installed on the
top and four on the bottom. Tighten the screws gently.
Overtightening them can strip the foam and plastic.
If you have a problem threading the screws
into the foam, carefully use a push-pin to make a pilot
hole in the foam for each of the screws.
PRO TIP
STEP 3: INSTALLING THE VERTICAL TAIL
❑
Carefully pull a short length of protective backing away
from the front of the double-sided tape on each side of
the vertical tail.
Crease the lengths of protective backing,
as shown. This will allow you to pull and remove the
protective backing when you install the vertical tail in the
next procedure.
