Bill,
Yes I am going to use double beveling. Im not sure why though. I just know that most big planes I see at the flying field have em that way so there must be a good reason. If nothing else it will be easier to seal the hinge lines! Plus ... on the plans I think the rudder and fin are double beveled so I want the elevators and stab to match.

I already screwed up my left stab. I didnt notice the fact that the aft spar was balsa. I used the basswood on one side before I realized the plan called for balsa. So ... I will make the other side to match. Seems no matter how I try ... my planes always end up on the heavy side. Oh well.

Tom ... thats a very clean engine install. Seems everyone is goin with the ZDZs.

Im still in a quandry about the wing phenolic tube. Not sure I should use it or replace it. Its too late for changing the one in the stab.
