Last night, Back on track. Wasn't too difficult getting the pieces apart with little damage. I just have to make a new end piece, but considering how much scrap ply is in this kit, won't be a problem. Doublers are in and now the tail looks correct, it had a little twist to it, but now it is straight.



I started cutting off the tabs and got a little sanding done, and also trial fitted the longerons on the side. This is going to look good when done. Leaving the top off the front fuse until I get a tank in there. It will be difficult strapping one down from inside, so going to devise a removable tank floor. This way I can remove it while working on the plane, and be able to get to the back of the firewall to mount the engine, and run the throttle and maybe choke cables, then slide the tank in and secure it with screws.



^look how nice it sands.

Next step while waiting on the epoxy to cure in the tail I started the horizontal stab. As always, SIG laser cutting is damn near perfect, all the balsa parts lined up with very few gaps. One skin and both ply parts are glued together, and put my battery boxes to work holding them flat. Today I will glue the other side on, and let that set up and move on to the next step. Heading to Toledo tonight, so you wont see any updates until maybe Sunday, weather here it supposed to finally touch 70* so I will most likely be working on my truck getting some things installed, and maybe if time start the Zaino treatment process.
