4) Remove the stabilizer.  Using a mod-

eling knife, remove the covering from below
the lines you drew.  Also remove the covering
from the bottom edge of the stabilizer and the
bottom and top edges of the filler block.  Leave
the covering in place on the sides of the filler
block.

When cutting through the covering to re-

move it, cut with only enough pressure to only
cut through the covering itself.  Cutting into
the balsa structure may weaken it.
