Problem is how to glue it in there,with the balsa sheeting on either side on the stab halves? Each tip of the stab is raised by 1 1/2" and the dowel is there to strengthen the joint of the two halves.

Any advice will be appreciated.

Dont worry about the dowel. Use a small width of fiberglass on the top and bottom of the stab joint. I built my 125% one with foam cores and that's how I joined them.
