Blackie,

The wire torque rod is the better way to do it versus the hardwood joiner but either will work.

As far as incidence on the stab believe me it IS correct. A couple folks have emailed thinking it was wrong but don't be deceived by the fact the stab is NOT in line with the wing. The engine and wing are on the same center line but the stab is placed above that line. So you cannot draw a line between the wing and the stab and expect them to be nuetral. Note that the plans show separate lines for the wing and stab. Also the trailing edge mounting tab of the wing is belew the center line as well so don't go by that either. That little trick makes it easier to put the bolt through without bumping into the aileron. You have to be careful when gluing the foam fuselage together not to bend it out of shape. Follow the instructions and tape the two halfs together with glue on the joint and over the plans to make sure you have proper alignment. Then sheet away. Also, all 65" YAK kits come with custom 90 size Tetherite gear. This gear is just the ticket for this size plane - thanks again Ray.
