This was a day I’ve been looking forward to and dreading at the same time. I’ve read about some builders having lots of problems getting all of the stabilizer pieces assembled in the proper orientation. Some builders have tried to put the left stab on the right side or had the carry-through tube backwards or upsidedown & it took much “head-scratching” to figure that out. When I began to look at the pieces, I noticed some letters written with a blue pen on the parts: “Der” and “Izq.” So I said to myself, “Self, I bet this means something in Spanish,” since the kits are manufactured in Mexico. So I went to my English/Spanish dictionary (aka Michelle), and asked her. She then consulted the great oracle of Google and determined that “Der” is short for "derecho" which means “right.” And “Izq” is short for "izquierdo” or “left.” Once I knew my Izq from my Der it was clear sailing and everything went together first time with no problems. Mucho Gracias to the guy with the blue Sharpie in Mexico.
