The horizontal looks the same other than it's anhedral on the UFO. The elevators are cut away a bit more which is what we were already doing with the DB.

The wing is 1" longer and swept back on the UFO

Edit: the dihedral on the UFO is 1.317 per side and the DB is .67 degrees per side. This is all measured from the wing tips which is odd because if you round them off like the plans show they don't touch the table.

Looks like the stab has been raised on the UFO to just above the thrust line. That may be the reason for the anhedral stab???

Anything else I'm missing?
