It has stayed dry but not dust free so it needs a good bath. Since the stabilizer is already detached I will try to heat and press the stabilizer square, if not then replace it. Do you have any thoughts on Gas opposed to Glow?

If I can get it airborne for minimal expense then I have the perfect plane to learn on. At least that's my thought. Eventually I would like to build from kits.
