Got some more time in this afternoon.

Hinged all the tail feathers, and fitted the elevator torque rod. No the hinges or torque rod are not glued in. That will wait to they are covered.

I had to make hole in the vertical fin post to accommodate the elevator torque rod.

Have to make up the tail wheel assembly so it tiller arm can fit into the rudder.

Started servo install. I use little Allen screws exclusively now. Love the little things. Need to order more.

Also getting ready to install the fuel tank. It is a 6 ounce tank. Should be able to fly around at 1/2 throttle or even less for ever and a day. So I drill the holes in the fire wall for the fuel tubes to pass thru, and while I was at it I also drilled a hole for the throttle cable to pass thru.

I just had to pin the tail on and bolt the wing on to get a good look at the bird. Partially to test the fit.
