Default RE: Horizontal tail (beginner question)

Nice! You know you´ve done something right if the other throw in thetowel.

I know that most people use a foam core with balsa cheat and then fiberglass, and I do see that it would make it more easy.
But I like the way CollinChapman constructed things, with every partbeing apart of the wholestructural integrity.
Therefore I havedecided to try this out, if I willsucceed is yet unknown.

The reason I wasconsidering to use an airfoil instead of a "simple" flat profile was that Iconsidered it to make the plane track better. That lead me to start thinking aboutmaking the whole horizontal tail in one piece.
I guess that I don´t have to make thatdecision right now.
First I have to see if I can get all the other piecestogether...

Ireally appreciate all the help, thank you!
