Default RE: contender tail crooked

[8D] my bad,
i assumed clamping the tail together gets the end right in the middle.
the instructions don't say anything about checking. looked kind of funky
pointing to the left.
i just cut it again and reglued but this time holding the tail down with the fuse on the side
and the straight edge attached. hope this works out.
I've worked approx. 10 hours so far.
tailfeathers and ailerons are ready to cover, wing is done but i'm stalling there again.
can't decide wether to apoxy in the wing dowels yet (according to the manual) 'cause they need apoxy at the aft
dowel guide, but you can't reach there if you've sheeted the bottom wing middle section.
but to get ready to cover you obviously need the sheeting there.
covering around the dowels also sounds like a pita. or maybe it's possible. have to think more.
looks like there's a lack of building experience.
but i'll get to it.
