My first build of a scale helicopter, I just received my Jet Ranger 1:6 scale and if anyone can answer a question for me, is how do the horizontal stabs mount to the tail boom? There are two items molded in the boom shaped just like the stabs.

This is how mine were molded. There was really no way of getting a nut onto the stud so I opted for the epoxy. Sand it good so the epoxy has something to adhere to.
If the fuse wasn't already painted I would have blended it in with micro-ballons.
I have since crashed this heli, but, the stabs did not come off! 😂
What I started with
Thanks Joe for the reply back, this is the tail boom and the stab is about 3/16 wider than what is in the picture, no holes, no bolts. Again, this is my first scale build. I have built planes (balsa) any suggestions will be helpful.
If the stab is wider, could it be that it is meant to slip over the molded stub that's on the boom? If that's the case, epoxy or jb-weld or something similar should work.
Thanks for the advice
Got my answer to the stab. needs to be cut in half.
