Pull the horizontal stabilizer through the other side of
the fuselage and repeat the previous procedures to
realign the horizontal stabilizer, then glue the horizontal
stabilizer into the fuselage. Use a generous amount of
thin CA, apply thin CA to each of the four joints and use
a generous amount to ensure a strong bond. Please be
very careful though as thin CA will run everywhere, do
one joint at a time and control where the glue goes until
it has cured.

The elevator hinges are pre-glued into the
elevator halves. Working with one elevator half
for now, apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly to
only the pivot point of the two hinges (this is
right against the elevator).
Without using glue yet, push the elevator half
and its hinges into the hinge slots in the trailing
edge of the horizontal stabilizer. There should
be a minimal hinge gap and the end of the
elevator half should not rub against the
horizontal stabilizer.
When satisfied with the fit and alignment,
hinge the elevator half to the horizontal
stabilizer using a thick CA glue. Make sure to
apply a thin layer of CA glue to the top and
bottom of both hinges. Repeat the previous
procedures to hinge the second elevator half to
the other side of the horizontal stabilizer.

NOTE: You may need to open up the slots in the
horizontal stabilizer so that the vertical stabilizer
is not too difficult to push in.
