Status: offline 		Personally, I would forget the flying wires and build new elevators out of 3/8", and then sheet the stab with 1/16" balsa. Here's why: You will tear the elevator counter balances off in walls or while taxiing.

Cost: The kit plus covering, spinner, radio gear etc. Easily $200 or more.
