I didn't mention anything special in the construction article about the stab attachment, because it's simply no problem. Covering was removed on both parts in the mating areas. then small pinholes were poked into both parts, which adds some surface area for the glue joint, then the stab was glued on with epoxy.

Althugh this kit has been flown hundreds of times by others, using the suggested method, with no problems, I did take the liberty of also installing a small light ply plate in the fuselage, to give a little more surface area at that joint. This added maybe 1/4 ounce to the kit.

This is an extremely light kit, and I think the design is good. The only reason I changed anything was based on my experience with heavier kits, and I'll probably find that those changes were unnecessary. It's just hard to give up old habits, even if they're overkill. I'm flying the plane tomorrow, so I'll let all of you know tomorrow night.

One other thing should be said. This kit is designed for 3D-type flying, and so it's not one that you would fly at extremely high speed, doing sharp pullups, etc.. So far, I feel that it's plenty strong enough for it's designed purpose.
