Work on one elevator at a time or mark one
elevator and one horizontal stabilizer with a
piece of removable tape, this way you will not
mix up left and right elevators.

Separate the elevator from the horizontal
stabilizer. Look for the hard point where the
control horn will be attached, it will be close to
the root of the elevator. Cut away the covering
from the slot where the control horn will be
bonded.
Separate rudder from vertical stabilizer and remove
the covering from the control horn slot

Dry fit the control horn in the slot, make any
adjustments as necessary.
