Default vid and more pics, please!

I am loving the 35% 260 so far, but would like to see some more detailed pics of the fuse structure, stab attachment method (hoping it's by screws through tabs on the root rib and not through the stab tube itself), engine box, etc. And obviously video would be nice!

Aero, have you ever seen a comp-arf pin hinge? I am pretty sure this will be the same or very similar. Basically, the vert stab would have a seried of ply or phenolic tabs coming off the back of it with holes in them for the pin to slide through. Then the leading edge of the rudder would have slots cut into it for those tabs to slide into, and a long pin goes through the entire ass'y and becomes the hinge point.
I think they added a couple new pics, and it shows the stab attachment, which appears to be the tab at the rib method, but only one tab? It still looks like it'll work, though...
So I guess all I am really waiting for is VIDEO!!!!

Come to Nall and see it all. Stab is attached with a scres through the tab at the LE into the fuse and a second into the tube.
Rudder is a music wire rod that engages the standard type pinned hinges.

I'd love to be at the Nall, but work hinders that, not to mention the cost of getting there would equal or exceed the cost of this kit - I gotta have my priorities in order, lol!
PLEASE GET VIDEO!
