Verne and everyone,<br>
Thanks for all the great suggestions on straightening out this Genesis.
I think I have a good plan to proceed now. I will post pictures when I
have all the tools built and the plane setup.<br>

the tubes are parallel to the table. I realize I'm over-simplifying the
process, but I think it would give you the best chance for long term
success. If you don't ruin the fin by bending it with a heat gun, it will
almost certainly end up where it started after being out in the sun for
awhile. BTW, I never trust alignment marks molded into a fuse. My first

Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] Genesis revisited
I'm helping someone from our club build an old Genesis kit. Everything
was going along just fine until it came time to install the wing and
stab tubes. The wing tube is just fine, ends up parallel to the belly
pan within a millimeter at the ends of the tube running through the
fuselage.
The problem occurs at the tail end. The fin is 12 mm out of plumb and
the stab tube(using the indicated marking on the fuselage) is tipped
about 10 mm in the same direction as the fin. Also the marks on the
fuselage for the stab tube and the front pin are not the same distance
up from the fuselage bottom so it appears these marks were not
accurately set in the mold. Rather a mess.
A long time ago when I ran into the crooked fin problem , I managed to
get it lined up by using a heat gun and gentle pressure. Then using
braces, tail post and a former, try to lock in the new fin position.
Anyone have any experience with this netbox kit that ran into any of
these problems or were all the others perfect right out of the box?
I would really appreciate any guidance on this that I can get.
Thanks
John
