Default GP Pitts stab

I bought this ARF back in May and after the cabane problems popped up I decided to put off finishing it until now, just in case there were other issues waiting to be discovered.

In the instruction manual that came with my plane the instructions for gluing the stab in position were extremely vague (ie: Glue it in. something to that effect, can't remember exactly). I checked out GP's online manual for this plane and it actually gives you some sort of directions about how to glue it in, but it is a pretty ridiculous method.

I ended up cutting out the tail post section of the fuse so that the stab could be slid into position from the rear, doing it this way surely gave a better glue joint than the method that GP suggested and was a lot less messy.

Hoping that this might help someone else who is assembling this plane.
