Then place the stab on the boom, and position the center rib over the boom. Your model will require some tail tilt in it, and now is a great time to do that. All you need to do is place a small weight (I used a dime) on the right side of the stab to hold it down on the table. The other half of the stab will be pointed up in the air.

Make sure the stab is almost all of the way to the back of the boom. Leave about 1/16" to 1/8" of boom hanging off of the back.

Use a pin and apply a small drop of superglue to the leading edge and trailing edge of the stab where it meets the boom.

Now take the fin and apply superglue to the bottom of each of the fin posts.

Then position the fin over the stab and hold in place, if you have a helper then have them spray some accelerator on the glue to speed up the process. If not, then you will have to hold this position until the glue sets (about 1 minute). Try to hold the fin up as vertical as possible.

Once the glue sets enough for you to let go of the fin, apply some accelerator to the joints to make sure it has cured. When you are done you should have something like this.
