Well, I am still plodding along. Some guys fly thru a build. I crawl. I try to get one or two things done a week. This week I pretty much finished up the horizontal tail. The big chore was making the missing parts for the tips. They were fillers, and had to be installed then mainly sanded away. There are four fillers on both the elevator and the stab, and I only got 2 of each and managed to lose one of those! DOH!! There are also a few small filler pieces from 1/2 inch square balsa. I searched and searched and could not find a bit of 1/2 inch square balsa in the "complete kit" so I had to cut those too. And of course once those are in place you have to trim away everything that is NOT airplane, and there is quite a bit of that! I think I will have to do a bit more sanding before I am done, but aside from that, the only things I can think of that I want to do to the horizontal tail before I move on to something else is locate and cut in the hinges (no glue yet!) and I want to make and instal new control horn plates as the ones provided don't look to me like they are wide enough for a giant scale control horn base.
