Well, if it makes you feel better (for me), I was out at the field the other 
day and was again flying terrible!  I was coming in on a crosswind and busted 
a prop on a bouncy landing.  I didn't have another prop, but even if I did, I 
was disgusted with my flying and packed it up to go home.  While cleaning my 
H-stab, it moved!  Not a little, but a lot.  So, looks like I can blame the 
poor flying on something else.  Not sure what is worn that badly, I had to go to 
Grand Prairie, TX before I could pull the stab off to see what allows it to 
move like a Hip-Hop female singer.....

Plug-in stabs will work loose over time unless the sockets are secured well 
to begin with during construction. Wet power exacerbates and accelerates the 
problem (vibration). Since most models are ARFies anymore, you never know what 
you gonna get in this crucial area. 
 
If that's your problem, the fix is straight forward. Squeeze some Pro-Bond 
around the socket using a hypodermic syrringe with about a #16 needle. It's easy 
to penetrate the wood sheeting with the needle.
 
One of the reasons why I no longer build my models with plug in stabs 
(....when I get to build that is!)
