Happy New year for everyone, I hope it comes with plenty of construction projects !

Entering one more year on the Aurora build but completion is now much closer.

I realized that I had skipped the horizontal stab build steps, so now I will post them here.

The stab was built at the same time with the initial stages of the wing, so it has been completed and sitting around for quite a time, but as the next steps on the fuselage are related to the mounting of the stab, I need to catch up with its build .

The build is very simple and it follows the initial build steps of the wing. The ribs come laser cut with tabs on its ends that provide the adequate positioning vertically wise. Basically you just glue the upper and lower spars and then add the sub leading and trailing edges, same as the wing. Top and bottom balse sheeting are then glued and the leading and trailing edges glued and sanded to shape. The stab wing tips blocks were glued and sanded to shape as well.

The balsa elevator halves were not supplied in the kit so I was a little disappointed given the price I paid for the kit, but finally not a big issue, I just supplied my own.

The final step was to add a fiberglass cloth reinforcement with epoxy resin at the stab center section as per the plan (also not supplied), this completes the horizontal stab build.
