I often put tri stock on those vertical stabilizers when a plane needs recovering. Gluing a flat plate stab to a flat fuselage top is really bad structural design. The joint is only as strong as the grain of the balsa sheeting, which ain't very. A much better design is to have it sit down into the structure, glued to a plywood former or bulkhead.
