F.C.
Do you have a way to check the stab incidence? If the stab is correct, my thought would be leave it as is and cover. The reason I went the adjustable route was my stab was off quite a bit. So I had to cut it apart anyway. The adjustable stab is not hard to build but does require a bit of fabrication. You have to replace the stab platform with lite ply to support the rear pivot and once you have that done and the stab works to your satisfaction, you need to a piece of hardwood or I used lite ply and balsa for the vertical stab mount. After I got the verical stab where I wanted it I cut small formers and used 1/16 balsa to form the fillit for the rear of the fuse. The pictures John just posted show very clearly the aluminum fillit used on the restoration project. If you decide to go the adjustable route I can tell you how I made my adjustment so it will not back out
