Default RE: Vectorflight Edge 540 build

Ok, here's the next question......Getting ready to attach the stablizer and fin assembly and I noticed VF's instructions say to install "triangular crossection fillets" above and below the horizontal stablizer. I haven't found any supplied, so I assume I need to look thru my supply of balsa, or should they have been supplied?

Also, will the plastic tail fairing (once cut out) extend below the bottom of the stablizer to cover the fillet put there? If not, won't there be some raw wood showing that needs to be covered? I've seen some articles where a fairing has been entirely of balsa to replace the plastic, sanded smooth and then covered.....sounds like some work, but would be very sturdy....

Pics are worth a thousand words....I'll break out my digital and start taking some.....

Thanks,

B
