Default Final Assembly / Covering

Good day to all,

I am in the process of finsishing my second kit build which is a Goldberg Tiger 60. My first build was a Great Planes PT-40.

When I built the PT-40, the plans had me glue the stab and fin in place before covering. Ifollowed the plans and all worked out great.
Now with the Tiger, the plans are having me cover the stab BEFOREIglue it to the fuselage. Is there any reason for this? Iam not happy about covering the stab, then having to cut off some of the covering (without going into the stab itself) and then glue it to the fuselage. Is there any harm in gluing the stab to the fuselage before I cover it like I did with the PT-40? I am not seeing any reason why this should be an issue.

Thanks in advance for your help,
Brad
