Default RE: 8 ft of bones! Sr Telemaster

I got the tail finished! I spent all day converting the wing and fuselage so I can do away with the rubber bands. For the front of the wing I used a design as seen in a previous post to this thread (thanks guys). I beefed up the rear attach point on the fuselage with Birch plywood and installed 1/4" blind nuts and nylon bolts. I had to shim the fuselage sides to keep the wing from rocking due to the diehedral. The fuselage still has a lot of twist when you rock the wing tips but I believe this can not be avoided unless I install wing struts. Leading and trailing edges of stabalizer took a lot of sanding to shape as you start out with square stock. Saito looks nice sticking up proudly! All I need now is $100 worth of Olive Drab Monokote.
