Hello all. I ahave been out of flying for quite some time and i just got back in to it. I just bought the Top Flite Cessna Kit yesterday and thought i would build a plane and get back into the hobby since i really miss it. With that said, i have a very noob question that maybe some one here can help me with. Here goes :

I got to step 6 in the instruction manual and really am having a hard time trying to understand how this is suppose to be assembled. It tells you to pin the center stab brace to the plans then glue the stab te to it. after that there is a note that says to position the outboard ends of the TE about 1/2" above the board. The TE brace should be raised about 3/8". My question is do i glue the assembly flat on the plans then raise the assembly 3/8" or do i need to glue the te to the center brace with the tips 1/2" above the board ?

Kind of confused. any help would be greatly appreciated.


thanks.
