Hay Leroy,
Yes...I will finish it soon enough and the winter here is the usual best season to fly. We get a good trade wind here in the Spring and Summer. Fall and Winter...usually is the best time to fly here in Hawaii. We still get winds in the Winter...but usually not as intense as in the Summer (subject to change any day too). We don't have a winter here...it just cools down a bit more at night.
I built up my Vertical fin today...and skinned it with 1/64 light ply. The fin is light and strong. I used 3/8" sq. bass wood for a leading edge, utilized the bottom pieces of wood given in the kit, for the fin, and made up the rest with 3/8" square balsa sticks and 3/8" balsa sheet. The kit supplied vertical fin, notches into the bottom part of the aft fuselage floor, so I used the kit supplied wood and tied it all into the new upper fin. I drew out my plan on rapping paper and started gluing wood. It came out nice and I'll have the pictures tomorrow to show you the finished product.
Soft Landings Always,
Bobby of Maui
