With the elevator joiner wire epoxied in, the leading edge slot for the wire is blocked in with balsa. I didn't want to do overlapping layers of Solartex at the elevator trailing edge, so I reversed engineered it as a one piece covering job with the
fold at the trailing edge and the overlapping seam at the leading edge of the elevators. Once that was finished, I applied two coats of e-resin at the root of the elevators and the outside edge of the "cheek" pieces that will abut them when all is attached to the fuselage. The inside trailing edge of the horiz.stab was also e-resined in advance before the hinging takes place in order to fuel-proof everything into a tight package.
