Wrapping up this phase of the tail. Surfaces covered. Stitching complete. Basic sanding complete. Elevator and Rudder servos mounted. Regarding the servos, I had hoped to fit everything under the cockpit hatch. But there really won't be enough room. So I will make one of the waist blisters into a hatch. This allowed me to keep the ele/rud pushrod runs short and the extra hatch will give me access to the back side of the main gear retracts.
