RE: Reinforcing Stab and Fin
You will need to remove the covering in the area the tri stock will go. I suggest thin OR medium CA (thin is my choice, but others may have different opinions).
Once you have the tristock CA in place, dont for get to protect the new wood. I would put some AeroGloss paint on in (AeroGloss is fuel proof) to protect the wood and help "blend it in" to the rest of the plane.
