Turns out the tube in the fuse has worked loose on one side.  The Hstab is fine.

    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!)
