Default RE: Bates 106

Thanks, Thomas.

=========
Horizontal stab.

Got a few things done tonight.
With the horizontal stab, I'm using thin CA since parts are glued 'on end' with little support.
I like using zap's CA as the provided small tube allows small amounts of CA to be applied.
The two center ribs are glued at an 8 degree angle using a jig since the stab is a V shape.
The ribs were first CA'ed vertically to the 1/4" thick balsa TE.
A square was used to keep them perpendicular to the TE.
3/16" square balsa for the spars were then pinned to the plans and the ribs were CA'ed to it.
The 3/32" thick LE was then CA'ed to the ribs.
