With Brad's assistance.......

Cut a 2x4 wood block to length so it nests snug between the HS-1008 Horizontal Stabilizer Front Spar Attach Brackets. Since the block doesn't sit flat, clamp it near it's forward edge so that it does not damage theF-1014 Aft Deck. This will hold the horizontal stabilizer in a fixed position. Add reference marks adjacent to one another on the wood block and aft deck.

Measure from the aft outboard corners of the HS-1001 Skins to a common rivet hole on the centerline of the F-1075 Tailcone Aft Top Skin to check that the horizontal stabilizer is square to the tailcone. If the two measurements are equal the stabilizer is properly positioned. Proceed to the next step. If the measurements differ loosen the clamps holding the block of wood, slightly rotate the stabilizer, tighten the clamps and recheck the measurements. Repeat this until the lengths are equal.

Match-Drill #12 the F-1098 Shims, F-1014 Aft Deck, F-1010B Spacer and F-1010A Angle using the four holes in the HS-1008 Horizontal Stabilizer Front Spar Attach Brackets as drill guides. It may be necessary to use at least a 6 inch long extended drill bit. The F-1010B Spacer and F-1010A Angle are not shown. Remove the horizontal stabilizer. Deburr and prime if/as desired. Bolt the horizontal stabilizer to the tailcone using the hardware provided.
