• Insert a straight pin through the top part of the pedestal as
    shown. Pin should pass between the pedestal layers. The sharp point of
    the pin should extend ¼ of an inch from the top of the pedestal. Check
    to make sure pin is positioned properly, then clip away the lower part
    of the pin. Place a drop of super glue on the lower part of the pin to
    keep it from slipping out of the pedestal.
  • Balance the plane
    on the pedestal by placing the tip of the tail that extends to the rear
    of the fuselage onto the sharp point of the pin. Adjust until thep lane
    balances in a level position. Once you have found the balancing point,
    press down so the ping make a small indentation in the underside of the
    plane. Use a pencil point to deepen the indentation slightly. This will
    help hold the plane in place and will make it easy to locate the
    balancing point whenever thep lane is re-installed on the base.
