Wow, I don't envy you having to cut out and reset that stab. I committed a similar boo boo yesterday. I forgot to create a solid base for the dural gear just in front of my wing. I'm going to have to cut out a section of the triangular strips and the tank floor to put in some ply to support the heavier gear mount. Fortunately, I haven't attached the bottom nose block as yet..... but I'll be real careful about centering the stab. Thanks.

By the way, how are you going to fabricate the rudder linkage, over the stab or under? Will you snap a photo of that detail?
