Well, I am glad my son was building with me last week. We were working on the vertical stab. Planned to build it as part of the fuse. See pict #1 and the note on the plan stating you can build both together. This sounds like a great idea, it will keep the V-Stab set perfectly with the fuse. Back to my son. He noted in the plan that it looked like the main V-stab post (part that the rudder connects to) runs through the H-stab. I said, "Naw, cause the H-stab has to slide through the opening left in the fuse/V-stab. Fortunately for me, he disagreed! We took some measurements and indeed he was right! The V-stab is now complete and removed from the plans. I have opened up the sheeting in the H-stab and cut a slot in the main V-stab post to slide over the center ribs in the H-stab. I all now assembles nicely! See other pictures.
