I think another look at the ingenious series of fuselage jigs that Larry designed for this kit is in order. I have located them on the plans in their respective locations. The windows, if you will, represent the cross section of the fuselage at each location - sheer genious!

The fuselage is now straight and the stab is almost perfectly aligned with the wing tube. A difficult task made easy. I have been envolved in this hobby since 1975 and this is the most foolproof system of joining the tail together and cutting in cross pieces that I have experienced.

Oh, just in case you haven't been paying attention - this is a 1/3 scale model - yah, I'm liking this a lot!
