Align the tailplane (6) carefully and use it as a drilling template for the two 4 mm Ø holes. Tip:
temporarily secure the tailplane with double-sided tape while you are drilling the holes. Before
reaching for the drill, check the distance from the tailplane trailing edge at both tips to the fuselage
centreline at the wing saddle position; the tailplane is at right-angles to the fuselage when the two
measurements are identical.
Drill out the holes for the captive nuts (7) in the fuselage to 5.5 mm Ø. Sand the nuts to provide a
mechanical "key" for the epoxy.
Temporarily stick the front nut (7) to a scrap piece of the laser-cut plate "A" using double-sided
adhesive tape, so that it can be conveniently glued in place. Pull the nuts into the holes by lightly
tightening the plastic screws (8) from the top.
Provisionally fix the tailplane (6) to the fuselage using the retaining screws (8). Initially glue the fin to
the fuselage by the bottom edge only, and set it exactly vertical; check this with a setsquare. When
you are satisfied, run cyano-acrylate glue ("cyano") along the joints between the top edges of the
fuselage and the fin (9) to fix the fin in place permanently.
