7) When you are sure that everything is
aligned correctly, apply C/A glue to the top and
bottom of the stabilizer mounting area and to
the stabilizer mounting platform sides.

5) Remove the stabilizer. Using the lines
you just drew as a guide, carefully remove the
covering from between them using a model-
ing knife.
When cutting through the covering to
remove it, cut with only enough pressure to
only cut through the covering itself. Cutting
into the balsa structure may weaken it.

6) Using a modeling knife, carefully re-
move the covering that overlaps the stabilizer
mounting platform sides in the fuselage. Re-
move the covering from both the top and the
bottom of the platform sides.

4) With the stabilizer held firmly in place,
use a pen and draw lines onto the stabilizer
where it and the fuselage sides meet. Do this
on both the right and left sides and top and
bottom of the stabilizer.
