Default RE: A4 Skyhawk build

The fin and stabilizers have now been cut back with 600 flatting pads and imperfections filled and leveled. The slots for the servos horns had already been cut along with the horns on the surface being installed, they just needed neatening up. I'm keen for the fin and stabs to be removable mainly to help me with winter storage plus it's useful for transport if not necessary. To do this I've cut a few holes under the stabs that will enable be to get a ball driver at the bolts.

The fin post and stab attachments. The stabs required some fettling to get a really nice flush fit to the fuz. I'll also have to make a small former to place in the fuz towards the front of the stabs to stop any compression thats evident when you move the stabs by hand.
