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.
