5. Remove the stabilizer. Using the lines you just
drew as a guide, carefully remove the covering
from between them using a modeling knife.
When cutting through the covering to remove it,
cut with only enough pressure to only cut
through the covering it's self. Cutting into the
balsa structure may weaken it. This could lead
to possible failure during flight.

3. Check the fit of the horizontal stabilizer in its
slot. Make sure the horizontal stabilizer is
square and centered to the fuselage by taking
measurements, but don't glue anything yet.
4. With the horizontal stabilizer correctly aligned,
mark the shape of the fuselage onto the bottom
of the tail plane using a water soluble/
non-permanent felt-tip pen.
INSTALLING THE HORIZONTAL STABILIZER
