I got the Horizontal stab glued on. It took some sanding and adjustment to get it aligned properly, made easier without the covering.

With the cowl mounted and aligned with the spinner I was able to do some work to flair it into the fuse better. The sides are flush, and the top was made tighter by adding some balsa. I still have some work to do to get it good as I want it. I can't flush the top, because it wouldn't allow it to be removed. I'll make it tight though.

Another scale adjustment. The antenna is not correct for the Mk XIV. It had a thin whip antenna farther back on the fuse. So I filled the hole.
