#3889 is really holding some down elevator. I hope my lifting tail eliminates some of that, anyway.

Turns out my design for the elevator didn't leave enough room for good iron hinging, so I'm going to have to try CAs. It's storming here tomorrow, so I should have time to work on it.

I goofed off today, put the first two flights this season on the DR-1. The more I fly it the more I like, it's so weird, like flying a stack of dishes around. The only thing I use ailerons for is to level the wings during takeoff and landing- that airplane is a rudder bird. It will roll, but I have to be patient.
