15-Horizontal Stabilizer
Remove the horizontal stabilizer
from the vertical stabilizer. Using a straight edge
and a sharp hobby knife, carefully cut away
the covering inside the lines which were marked
above. Be cautious not to cut into the wood-this
will weaken the structure.
Again, slide the horizontal stabilizer into the

the alignment, glue the both sides of the horizontal
stabilizer where it meets the fuselage.
