Default RE: Corsair F4U-1A Top Flite Giant ARF Modifications

Now moving onto the tail. Nice to have the rudder removable at this time so I can fiberglas the vertical stabilizer and work on the rudder separately. This will not be the case for the horizontal stabilizer in the elevators. Also if you look closely I decided to put a 1/16 piece of plywood at the trailing edges of the control surfaces. Just for scale looking purposes. I then had to Bondo up to smooth out the surface.

On the tail surfaces I used SolorTex fabric covering.
