Step 01: Place the VS-1213 V-Stab Tip Fairing onto the V-Stab Assembly. The edge of the recessed area of the v-stab tip fairing must be flush against the entire top edge of the VS-1201 Main Skin as shown in Figure 1.
To resolve interference issues, recheck the recessed area measurement with the dimension given on Page 12.02, Figure 3. Remove the minimum amount of material necessary, within that dimension , to achieve a flush fit to the top edge of the main skin.
 
Step 02: With the VS-1213 V-Stab Tip Fairing in place, Match-Drill #30 the holes from the VS-1201 Main Skin into the v-stab tip fairing as shown in Figure 1. Cleco each hole before drilling the next.  
Step 03: Make a smooth transition from the surface of the v-stab tip fairing to the surface of the VS-1201 Main Skin. Remove the v-stab tip fairing, sand the surface of the fairing where necessary, then check and repeat until the transition is smooth. Mark the fairing with a trim line that follows the aft edge of the VS-1201 Main Skin as shown in Figure 1.  
Step 04: Trim the VS-1213 V-Stab Fairing at the trim line from Step 3.  
Step 05: Temporarily attach the Rudder Assembly to the V-Stab Assembly. Refer to Section 11, Page 02 for attachment instructions.  
Step 06: Place the VS-1213 V-Stab Tip Fairing in position as shown in figure 2. Mark the aft edge of the v-stab tip fairing to indicate any material that is within 1/8 of an inch of the Rudder Assembly. Remove the fairing, then trim to the marked areas to provide clearance for the Rudder Assembly. Repeat, as necessary, to achieve a minimum of 1/8 inch clearance but not more then 1/4 inch of clearance throughout the Rudder Assembly travel.  
Smooth the trimmed edge with sandpaper, finish sand the entire v-stab tip fairing and wipe away any loose material.
Re-cleco in place.
