I'm at the point in my build to install the stabalator - I believe it is drawing T07 - not sure. My Y Tail Spar Assembly is already bolted onto the airframe per the plans. I don't see how I can install the stabalator without first removing the Y Tail Spar Assembly - or at least loosening the bolts to allow it to move aft about .5 inches.

Am I missing something? How did others install the stabalator?

Thanks in advance,

Bill

Bill,
I have an A model but the tail should be the same. The top skin should not be riveted. You position one of the tail halves up on the bolted in Y assembly, slide it down, and sneak the hockey stick (forward spar) into the cutout of the turtledeck skin. At least that is what I remember. For sure, once I had the Y frame bolted on, it stayed bolted on.

Do you have any pictures?

Bryan,

Actually, your advice was helpful. I just had to open the cutout a bit more - and it worked perfectly.

Thanks,

Bill
