Now, onto the Kaos build!

I started with the horizontal stabilizer, standard stick framing. Did I mention how much I like using a magnetic building board setup? It's the greatest thing ever! Anyway, got the 1/4 x 1/2 framing done, sheeted both sides with 3/32 balsa, then weighted it all down with bags of lead shot.




Next, I moved onto gluing in the reinforcements for the elevator halves. The plans call out pine inserts, but I just doubled up 1/4" ply, and glued them in. More lead shot to keep things flat on the board.

.

Next is the vertical stabilizer and rudder, both are 3/8 balsa sheet from the short kit, each built of several pieces. All glued up and weighted down.



Not bad for an evening's work!
