Well, as soon as I hit the send button its off to the building room to actually get started on this monster! I had a conversation with someone at Thunder Tiger Friday and we were discussing the horizontal stabilizer failures that have been reported. He informed me that they were most likely due to "overpowering". I said "You mean something like an OS 1.60"? "Exactly" was his response. I told him that was my intended powerplant and he said the plane will take it but the fuse should have some lite ply added to the inside of the fuse where the Stabs attach. He said the fiberglass in that area was fine for the recommended engine but not strong enough for the stress imparted but a "grossly oversized" (his words) engine. Re-enforce it with some ply and it should be fine was his suggestion so thats what I will do.

Anyways, here we go off to the building room, the building room, the building room. Here we go off to the buiding room...... So early in the evening!
