Now its time to separate the surfaces. After separation you will need to bevel back the elevator (ignore the fact that the hardpoint is not in that picture, I got a little ahead of myself when I was bored) to allow for the throw of the rudder. I simply used 1/16" balsa. Again back it up with thicker balsa when taping to avoid distortion and sand smooth when done. You should leave a bit of room between the aileron and wing so its not too tight after covering.

The last picture is a little further along, but shows what the root cap on the elevator looks like.
