OK, on to the Horizontal stab and elevator halves. They go together just like the vertical stab and rudder, with one exception. You have to use a wire for a torque rod on the elevator halves, I found it easier to drill my holes in the torque rod blocks, after they were glued into the elevator halves and the glue was completly dry. I used 1/8 wire, but you can substitute whatever you want, as long as it won't flex to much. The elevator control horn can be mounted to the torque rod block (so it doubles as a control horn block) after the wire is epoxied in, and after it's glued into the horizontal stab.

The template shown for the hor stab is paper. Tht's why it looks different, but it still gets the point across. You may opt to make paper templates of all of your hard to make parts, makes building the next one MUCH faster. And after flying this beauty, you will never want to be without one again.

Don't worry if your tail surfaces don't have clean edges just yet, after the hor stab/ elevator and vert stab/rudder are glued and dried, you can clean up all the edges that dont match. Just be sure on the hor stab that you have equal distance from your center line.

The elevator pic shows woodpecker detail and poly glue. These halves are ready to be folded and clamped or weighted down. DON'T FORGET TO MAKE TWO OPPOSING ELEVATOR HALVES A RIGHT AND A LEFT!
