The stab was fully sheeted, covered in veil and filled, (nitrate:baby powder, 1:2 ratio, with 2 parts thinner), prepping it for primer. Each half is at a good weight of about 55 grams to this point. It's lotsa work but worth the trouble to achieve the design parameters I initially had built into the model (it flew great early on but the engine was simply too much and so I changed to one more suitable)...

In comparison, I have stab weights for Acuracy, Griffen and Shinden: each stab half for these models weighs between 105 and 130 grams. I think these are all set-up for twin servos in the tail (excluded from the weights i show). Twin servos are convenient and simple, but they are heavy in the tail. To me, they compromise wing placement.

A correctly executed pull-pull set-up on elevators is the lightest possible and is the most versatile system we can have. But it is much more fussy a set-up to install....
