Take a piece of foam and glue it on the back of the rear horizontal spar. the foam should extend about 2 inches aft of the spar. Sand it to the shape of the horizontal airfoil. Glass over the foam leaving the rear part of the foam exposed. Once the glass has completely cured remove about half of the foam back towards the spar. Insert your elevator to start fitting it between the glass. Remove more foam as necessary. Once you have the elevator positioned in the channel correctly, trim the excess glass off the top and bottom of the horizontal. Remove the elevator and begin filling the corners with flox. Once you have the flox all in place cover it with wax paper. Now insert your elevator back into the rear horizontal channel and push it into place. This will squeeze the excess flox out which needs to be completely removed. Attach the elevator hinges and as the flox is curing, occasionally move the elevator up and down full travel. This will ensure you get clearance for the elevator travel. Clear as mud, right? Once the flox has cured remove the elevator and sand smooth as needed. This worked well for me but your results may vary...have fun.
