8. Use a sharp hobby knife to cut the covering slightly
inside the lines drawn. Be very careful not to cut into the
underlying wood, as this will weaken the stab and cause
it to fail in flight.
Note
: You can use a soldering iron instead of a knife.
This will eliminate the chances of cutting into the wood.
9. Slide the stabilizer back into position. After checking
the alignment, wick thin CA into the joint between the
fuselage and stabilizer on both the top and bottom of
the stabilizer. Also wick thin CA into the surrounding
wood on the bottom of the fuselage to increase the bond
between the fuselage and stabilizer.
