very nice wood job on your R54, I think I already posted that but here is how I solved a anoying fact. i realised early that the assembly require to precisly put the stab in place and then remove it several times. To avoid to have to make precise measurements and hold the stab in place with pins or tape everytime , I centerd the stab and then drilled 3 holes trough the stab and the balsa stab support plate. In thoqe holes I permantly placed 3 balsa dowels ( glued on the stab only with easy to sand white glue). those dowels alow you to remove and accuratly place the stab without having to mesure. I have to say they have been very cool during the process of instaling flight controls cables ( especialy the rudder one), final sanding and covering......

About the kit, I preordered one for a fellow one month ago and bruce said me next year
