With the horizontal stabilizer correctly aligned, 

mark the shape of the fuselage on the top and bottom 

of the tail plane using a water soluble / non permanent 

felt-tip pen.

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.
