Ok, time for some more pics as the landing gear is done and the rudder and elevators are installed..The halves of the elevator are joined by a peice of wire that you bend into a U shape and fit behind the stab befor glueing.This is what makes the elevators work together as they only work off the one push rod.

The tail wheel is a simple afair, as it has a long bit of wire on top that you need to bend, so you can push it in the hole you drill in the rudder and screwed to the bottom of the fuse.

Did i say that i love this plane..

Next up is to make up the push rods for the rudder and elevator.Its a peice of dowel that you drill and fit wire to each end and epoxy to finish the rods.
