Completing the stab by filling up the space above it, in order to do this you have to clear what ever vertical stab skin is hanging past the rib above the stab, the pictures explain better, I push the balsa in there so it is tight then added masking type around the added wood and sanded it down to its final shape, removed the masking type, a little more sanding then added 30 minutes epoxy thinned out some, enough to allow it to soak in through the spaces between the added wood, once the epoxy penetrated the wood I used a towel paper soaked in alcohol to remove the excess of glue that remained over the wood, now the Turbo is in my drying room ( A small room at home, it's hotter in there ) in a hour or so I will add the epoxy to the other side.

The jet is all build, what remains are small things here and there.

I'm shooting for Feb to finish it, turbine install included.
