One think I noticed about my kit is the wood for the fuselage.
the kit says the basa sheets are 1/16th of an inch. Mine is the thickest 1/16" balsa I have ever seen. Mine I say is ALMOST 1/8" Nothing a little sanding won't take care of though.

but I did finish my horizontal stab. Except for the elevator joiner wire. I have about 15 more minutes of work, and I will be finished the vertical stab and rudder.
