Does anyone have any concerns about the structural integrity of the tail surfaces on this kit? I got a good bit built this weekend, and looking at the grain of the balsa, I just have a fear of the rudder snapping in half vertically during a high force maneuver. Has anyone considered sheeting these surfaces? I know the monokote will offer up some strength, maybe that will be enough. Maybe I'm just being overly cautious. Also, did anyone beside myself notice the contradiction between the plans and manual about which side the dual servos for the tail surfaces goes on? Just curious.
