The Tail
I need to carve a piece of wood to sit on top the horizontal stabilizer so that it blends in nicely with the top of the fuselage. It's a lot easier to do that before the tail goes on. So I created this plywood stand-in for the h-stab...
Next I CA tacked a block of balsa to the stand-in & got busy with the shaping...
Popped the balsa off the stand-in then gave her a test fit, looks good...
Hollowed out some of the underside to save weight then bored a hole to accept the rudder post...
Time to glue the horizontal stabilizer to the fuselage...
That's looking pretty square...
