Using a Zona saw, cut off the bottom of the pilot figure to establish the correct width and height. Using a sanding block, sand the cut until even. Place the pilot figure on a piece of lite ply and trace out a pattern. Cut out the pattern and sand to fit the bottom of the pilot figure. Epoxy in place and drill for a screw.
It sounds complicated, but is in fact quite easy and doesn't take long at all.
Regards to all.
