Default stowing horizontal stabilizer on tail boom in trailer

Hanging the tail plane near the top of a trailer can cause excess heat to,damage surface in hot environments.
Ive seen a tailplane that had severe gel coat damage on the surface nearest the top of the trailer, despite no signs of failure on any other part of the glider.
