Check the fit of the horizontal stabilizer in its
slot. Make sure the horizontal stabilizer is square and
centered to the fuselage by taking measurements, but
don’t glue anything yet.
Check to mark sure the wing and stabilizer are
paralell. If they are not, lightly sand the opening
in the fuselage for the stabilizer until the stabilizer
is paralell to the wing, but don’t glue anything yet.

6)
Remove the stabilizer. Using the lines you just
drew as a guide, carefully remove the covering from
between them on the top and bottom of the tail plane
using a modeling knife.
When cutting through the covering to remove it, cut
with only enough pressure to only cut through the
covering it’s self. Cutting into the balsa structure may
weaken it. This could lead to possible failure during
flight.
