I got the vertical fin/rudder done, then I built the stab elevator. I changed the shape a little, then the structure some. If you look at the back sticks of the stab you can see I used a couple of pieces of balsa rather than the small piece of spruce, and added some hinge mounting points.
I've started the wing. I found that by using the scraps left after taking the ribs out I was able to build half ribs, I just like the look of half ribs, they are aren't needed though. Mine's going to be a RET plane.
