They say confession is good for the soul, they also say measure twice cut once.

So I have a confession. I did not measure twice when I laid out the elevator. Not sure how I goofed up like this. The template was printed out for one side. I then traced it onto the wood flipped the template and did it again. The stab is correct, but I sure screwed up tracing out the elevator.

So the elevator is scrap. It might find it way into a bulkhead or something.

And I was so proud of myself for only using one sheet of wood for all the tail feathers, stab, elevator, vertical stab, and rudder.

Oh well I will cut another.

I am sure I will make more mistakes on this build.
