A friend, building the same plane, asked me to explain how I am making movable tail surfaces (
he has no experience with stuff this small). Since he is 1500 miles away and can't just come sit at my bench, I thought I would go into a bit more detail here.
Step 1 - Build the horizontal stab per plan but do not glue parts D5 to the spar. Do not glue any rib sections in whats to become the elevator. When the glue is fully cured, cut parts D2 at the trailing edge of the spar.

Step 2 - Place a piece of wax paper along the length of the spar to protect glue from touching it. Line up the two elevator halves with the plan lines and secure.

Step 3 - Glue a section of spar into each elevator half.
