When cutting through the covering to
remove it, cut with only enough pressure to
only cut through the covering itself. Cutting
into the balsa structure may weaken it.
6) Using a modeling knife, carefully remove
the covering that overlaps the stabilizer
mounting platform sides in the fuselage. Re-
move the covering from both the top and the
bottom of the platform sides.
7) When you are sure that everything is
aligned correctly, mix up a generous amount
of 30-minute epoxy. Apply a thin layer to the
top and bottom of the stabilizer mounting
area and to the stabilizer mounting platform
sides in the fuselage. Slide the stabilizer in
place and realign. Double check all of your
measurements once more before the epoxy
cures. Hold the stabilizer in place with T-pins
or masking tape and remove any excess epoxy
using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol.

8) Next assemble and install the elevator
control horn.
Start each screw partway into the holes
in the control horn, as shown. Thread the
screws in until the tip of each screw pro-
trudes just slightly from the bottom of the
horn base.
Then hold the control horn clamping plate
in place while you finish threading the
screws all the way in. When done, you can
file or grind off the protruding sharp point
of the screws if you desire.
