RE: rambler 45 horizontal stabilizer
Hmm tIANci, I have never heard anyone using CA for the hor. stab... I'd like to know if others employ this method as well. Putting in the rear stab is always the most frustrating of tasks as it you usually have to wipe off a ton of epoxy and align it just right.
Normally I will dry fit the stab in, then get a peice of string (I use string they have in Asia that is not elastic). Line up the stab and mark all the right lengths. Basically the string should be marked for the distance between the end of the stab along the trailing edge to the fuse and another mark for the same point on the stab to the middle of the firewall. Of course you should make sure that they are perfectly aligned so that these two marks will be able to line up your stab. Then use 30 min epoxy. I always have a bottle of alchohol and some tissue nearby to wipe away any additional epoxy.
If you align the stab up perfectly, the elevators shouldn't be a problem. If they are, trim the elevators is probably better than misaligning the stab.
Good flying!
