Default RE: Fixing Avistar Horizontal Stab

I don't even think the covering tore, just crunched the balsa underneath.
That's very repairable. The Avistar has a built up horizontal stabilizer. Remove the covering 1/2" past either side of the break and take a picture. I'd bet you could totally repair it in two consecutive evenings. Balsa, being very soft, is an extremely easy wood to work with and requires very little experience to get a good repair. It's forgiving!
