Use a covering iron to attach the covering around the
opening in the bottom of the fuselage. Use a new hobby
knife blade to cut the covering from the opening.
Elevator
The elevator hinges should already be glued in. Give each
of them a little pull to ensure they are securely attached.
The jointer plate between the elevator halves is also
already glued into one half of the elevator.
Install a control horn in the elevator using the same
procedure used when assembling the ailerons. (If you cut
open the servo pocket in the left of the fuselage make
sure you are working with the left elevator half.)

Use a covering iron to bond the covering in the area
the control horn will sit.

Trim the covering away to expose the slot.

Sand the lower portion of the control horn.

Test fit the control horn. The shoulder contacts the
elevator and the linkage hole should be aligned with
the hinge centerline.

Mask around slot.

Glue with 30 minute epoxy.

Remove masing tape.
Roughen up the jointer plate for the elevator halves with
sand paper so the epoxy will adhere better.
Test fit the elevator joiner plate to the opposite elevator
half. Ensure the elevator halves are not twisted. Adjust
the slot in the elevator as needed.
Glue in the elevator halves using a similar procedure as
the aileron assembly.

The horizontal stabilizer is already slotted for the
hinges. Use a covering iron to secure the covering
along the edge of the stabilizer and the elevator.

Look at the stabilizer hinge slots closely. Make sure
the covering will not interfere when gluing the
hinges. Cut away any covering that covers the hinge
slots.
