Thought I would throw this pic in as well. The first is of an airplane stand I made out of some PVC pipe at work. It sure is nicer to work on the plane with this. Not only does it bring it up closer to me, but also keeps my plane from sliding all over the workbench. It was especially nice for when I installed all of my radio gear. I made it extra large, so I can extend the base and use it for larger planes as well.

The next, is a picture of the tail and some hinge gap that I ended up with that is bugging me. It is 1/16" at the ends, but at the middle hinge, the covering pulled the edges inward and created a 1/8" gap. I will have to seal all the gaps anyway, but just hope it won't be a problem, as there is no way to fix it now, without rebuilding the whole tail.
