This assembly is made up from a 1/8" balsa aft upper former (F11A), two 1/8" plywood straight tail saddles and forward former F10A, which will hold the horizontal stabilizer in place.




Former F10A is held in proper alignment with the aide of a steel block and clamp.




I made sure that the block was perfectly square to the other former's centerlines. If the steel block is square, then I can glue and clamp former F10A against the steel block with confidence.




The horizontal stabilizer is sitting in its cradle, but its trailing edge must be flush with the rear of former F11A. To get the TE aligned will necessitate that the front of the leading edge be sanded down.




If you look carefully, you will see that I sanded the front of the LE which will allow the stabilizer to move forward.




The trailing edge is now in alignment and centered with F11A as shown.
