Default RE: Another Fliteskin ME 109 build thread

Thank you Casey, you know Iam following your build for a long time now and envy the work you do, however, Iwill try to throw a simple spin on this kit.

Back to the build, Ihave then tackled the horizontal stabiliser. This is built in two halves glued together. I have again struggled to get it perfect, but will attribute it to my build skill. Ialso found that it is slightly warped, and after spending a lot of time thinking on solution decided to leave it as is and hope it won't effect the flying performance too much. The Elevators are built in similar method to the Rudder, and again, as can be seen in the photos, I got the laminating order for the TEwrong and had to fill in with some balsa . Again, do not under estimate the amount of sanding required for this stage... You do want to have a good set of sanding tools

From here, it was into the unknown. My first fibre-glass preparation and implementation, and, this is where Ihave started to take much more detailed photography "diary" of the build.
