Here are some pictures of the inside structures. I was pretty impressed with the quality of this thing. As you can see there are sheeted leading edges, a beautiful box spar, capped ribs, and webbed re-enforcements. Ram Bro is correct, the glue failure in the stab is the result of a weird kerf and improper glue penetration, though I saw no indication of laser cutting. More later, but I have to get to the field today to enjoy some awesome flying weather, instead of flying this computer. Best Regards Hawk pilots!
Wow....
Not sure if due to the struts, but it appears that hardwood or plywood was used in the spars???////

Looks really nice inside there....It really does...
