RE: Vertical Stab Slightly Canted
" ...I tried to get it right. I used builders triangles, eyeball alignment, tape, and also a little bit of prayer. But - it ended up canted just enough to make you feel it if you look at it out of the corner of your eye.
I'm not sure what to do about this problem. Should I attempt to cut the vertical stab out of the fuselage? ..."
Okay, someone needs to warn you about this.
Here's what will happen. You'll end up spending your time at the hobby shop, the building bench, or the flying field. All your friends will wonder what happened to you.
Your wife will nag "Spend some time with the kids!" and your children will have trouble remembering who you are.
Meanwhile, the garage, basement and attic will fill up with half-built planes, new kits and tools.
You can nip this in the bud, just put down the Xacto-knife, and walk away. Read a book, hug the wife, look in the mirror and say "I will not fly today."
Or, we'll see you at the field.
