With the stabilizer held irmly in place,
use a pen and draw lines onto the stabi-
lizer where it and the fuselage sides meet.
Do this on both the right and let sides
and top and bottom of the stabilizer.

Remove the stabilizer. Using the lines
you just drew as a guide, carefully remove

modeling knife.

When cutting through the covering
to remove it, cut with only enough pressure
to only cut through the covering itself. Cut-
ting into the balsa structure may weaken
it.
Using a modeling knife, carefully remove
the covering that overlaps the stabilizer
mounting platform sides in the fuselage.
Remove the covering from both the top
and the bottom of the platform sides.
