2nd night of building. The wings are finished. the ailerons/flaps are ready and in the neutral position. Everything is going well so far. The stab and rudder attachment was standard. The hardware inclusive with the plane is pretty good. I replaced the standard clevis with Dubro quik links nylon. They are very strong and snug up extremely tight. The metal clevis seem to have a little play after a while and actually stripped a wing support threads on a different plane. The factory tailwheel is adequate; however it was very small. I had a nice wheel that was about twice the size and it will function much better for occasional grass landings. Also the larger tailwheel looks scale.

CAUTION: The PDF warns of an airfoil on the elevator. The flat is down and the airfoil on top. This was extremely difficult to identify. I almost discounted the remark as an error or old instructions from a previous Howard DGA 12. Eventually I was able to see a flight foil and the assembly continued.
This is only my 5 ARF build. The instructions on the PDF download are pretty good. I keep my tablet on the build table for quick ref. and the PDF pics are of great value.
