Larry - Thanks for the really great photo which gave me a lot of helpful information. If you look carefully, you can see that the trailing edge of the horizontal stab is almost even with the rear of the fuse. Either I am reading you and Noah wrong, but look at my picture in the recent post on page 97. That rudder post must be installed wrong by me. Therefore when I installed the rudder and fin against the rear of the fuse, I "MUST", cut into the trailing edge of the horizontal fin. Wish I had kept up with You, Noah, Pete, etc. during this build. Seems like I am nothing but problems for you guys. Chic
