I decided it was time to get the horizontal stabilizer mounted to the fuse. I began by securing the fuselage to the building table. The next step I do is to make sure that the hole in the fuse for the stab is slightly larger than the stab so I'll have some "wiggle room" while I get the stab set to zero degrees.

To get the stab perfectly square with the fuselage, insert two T-pins in the stab at symmetrical points as far away from the centerline as you can get. I used the intersection of the leading edge stock and tip block. Then find a point on the centerline of the fuselage as far away from the stab as you can get. The larger you can make this triangle, the more accurately aligned your stab will be. I tried to use the centerline of the firewall, but my measuring stick wouldn't reach, so I moved back to the wing cradle. Using a string to hold the stab in position, I adjusted the stab until the tips were equidistant from the T-pin on the fuselage.
