Hey Bob,

Sounds like you are ready to go! I hope that your first flights go really well and you enjoy the plane!

I will post some pictures soon how I put the winglets on to allow them to be easily removed for transport, yet still secure for flight.
Probably next weekend if the weather co-operates. Yes, I would like to see how you attach the winglets. I was thinking this afternoon of drilling some holes in the wing's alignment dimples and putting CF tubes through the alignment dimples and then using CF rods thru the winglets to attach. But I will wait to see your method before committing.

Also, how did you further secure the stabs? The stab adjusters are tightened down pretty well, and in the meantime I also used some clear packing tape for a little additional security. I am considering plugging the stab tube ends with hard balsa and drilling thru the bottom of the stabs to permit the addition of screws.
