 4. Double-check the adjustments from Steps 1
through 3. Use a felt-tipped pen to trace the
outline of the fuselage onto the top and bottom
of the stabilizer.
 5. 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.
You can use a soldering iron instead of a knife. This
will eliminate the chances of cutting into the wood.
 6. Insert the micro control horn into the slot in the
elevator. Make sure the holes in the control horn
face forward and that the horn is on the side with
the clear covering (bottom).
 7. Slide the micro control horn backplate on the
control horn from the top side of the elevator.
Apply 2–3 drops of medium CA at the joint
between the horn and backplate to keep it secure.
