In Photo #1 note the two holes that I drilled on the stabilizer mount. After, carefully measuring to make sure that the stab was just in the right location, I drilled two 1/8" holes for short dowels that will locate the stab in the exact position each time I have it removed while building.

Photos 8-9 show the 1/2" dowel hard points that I like to add beneath any control horn. This prevents the balsa from being crushed when the horn is secured. (Epoxy was used to secure them in place.)

Note- Photos 4-7 the tail has not been glued down at this point. The dorsal fin, stabilizers, elevator and rudder will get covered first before permanently securing them into position.
