Default RE: BT Bf109E-4

work on the rudder/tailwheel and elevator controls. i ran into two small problems. first, you can see from the photo below that the precut parts for the horizontal stab come up well short in thickness. i added two 1/4" pieces on each side to make up for this and will be sanded to shape later. secondly, because i decided on using one elevator servo for each elevator half i needed to cut out most of the solid balsa to make room for the horns. instead of leaving a very thin, flimsy balsa piece to get broken multiple times i cut out a section and replaced it with 1/64" ply as shown.
