My next area of focus was the tail. The stabilizers, rudder, and elevators had all been completed prior to my purchasing the kit. I hinged them with Dubro 1/4 scale hinges and did a test fit. I fit everying in place and then drilled throught the bottom of the vertical stab, through the center of the horizonal and into the top of the fuse. I put a set of three 4-40 blind nuts in the fuse so I could bolt the tail in place while I worked on it. In the end I will glue it but it makes it much easier to work with. You can see the bolts in the first picture.

The flying wires for the tail are carbon fiber rod with 2-56 threaded ends JB welded on. Pictures only show the top ones, but I put in matching ones on the bottom as well. These go into 2-56 threaded clevis which attach to flying wire straps. Once everything is in place and squared up I drop some thin CA on the threads to freeze everything in place, but until then I can adjust all the lengths. I had to move the elevator servos forward a few inches. In the original location, the two servos hit without setting flush. The final effort on the tail was to put in the tail wheel. I used a Hangar 9 CF tail wheel assembly.

With that, I reached a good stopping spot on the tail assembly.
