Is it worth keeping the fin off til i cover it? I
Yes indeed most trainers and especially Kadets are far easier to cover with the tail section disassembled. The horizontal and fin as well as the elevator and rudder are all best covered first before hinging and assembly to the fuselage.
Of course don,t forget to cut the covering away with a blade where its inserted and cemented.

Yeah I figured as much... I just wanted to get working on doing my tail gear mod so I can just be done and ready for covering... I dunno I'll figure it out. Think I will just put on the stabilizer and leave it at that til i get it covered. and then just temperaraliy do the modification for the tail gear. Im gonna put a rod into the rudder and will need to sand it out and fitted... kind of like shown here.
