Keith, The horizontal stab is a 2 piece sheeted stab joined together with epoxy and then a 1/4 oz fiberglass strip laid on the joint. On the fusealage is a reference line as to where the centerline of the stab should be. Before you glue the stab together use it to lay out your holes you are going to dremmel out later. an insedence meter is very helpful here to get it at 0 degrees. after you get both sides laid out you can take a dremmel tool and a sanding drum and cut out the area for the stab to slide into. after you have it cut out, epoxy 2 pieces of lite balsa on the underside of the cut outs so the stab has a place to rest on. slide the stab in and from there you can adjust it for proper angles and fit. when you are satisfied with the fit tack it down with some epoxy on the balsa blocks and let set up. then mix up some slow cure epoxy and micro balloons to a peanutbutter thickness and fill in the area around the stab . this sets the stab in for good. as for the muffler I plan on using the stock muffler.
