13. Drill a hole through the hard point in the wing's center joint
using a 1/8" drill bit. Put the wing into the saddle, check alignment.
Drill the hole through the fuselage deck. Tap the thread in the
fuselage deck for the 8-32 nylon bolt. Apply thin CA to the hole and
re-tap the thread.

14. Enlarge the hole in the wing using a 5/32" drill bit. Counter sink
the hole using a 3/8" drill bit so that the bolt is flush with the
wing surface when inserted.

15. Glue the stab pylon to the stabilator using thin CA.

16. Put the plane with the wing attached up side down on a
narrow table so that the wing tips are hanging off the table.
Check the alignment of the vertical tail. If it is not
perpendicular to the horizon, use a head gun to heat the joint
between the tail and the carbon boom and correct the angle. Hold
the tail a little past the correct angle while it cools down.
Put the stabilator under the tail boom in the correct
location. Apply a few drops of CA to the pylon and put the
tail boom down into the groove.
