Ok back to it!

Next I went to the stab and did the elevator and root capping. The root cap is placed first before you open up the slot to slide in the elevator capping

In order to do the root capping you must place the adjuster hardpoints in place. These are simply 1/8" lite ply pieces included in the kit, and require a small amount of shaping to get them to fit in place. 5 minute epoxy is good here.

The root cap is 1/8" balsa, and should be supported by a thicker piece when taping so as to not deform it from the tape. Once that has setup, do the elevator capping the same as the aileron. Again all polyurethane glue on the capping.

Once that has setup, you can rough shape everything.
