I wasn’t happy with the vertical on the tail plus it was not as rigid as I wanted, so going to add a couple CF 4mm rods. Adds a little weight but worth it I think.

Fuselage is nice, straight and level (laser levels are cool!). Still impressed with Rumen’s FokkeRC short kit, and Jiri (JP Warbirds) is brilliant!

In the absence of kit instructions, your photos are really useful. My progress suggests I may finish by the next ice age!

BTW, how did your flap servo linkage/horn cover revision work out?
I added some bass stringers in the vertical stab for rigidity as well, I think it’s a good idea. I’ll get some photos of my flaps and aileron servo hatches here in a bit.
And yes the laser comes in handy, a lot!
