Hi Marc,
I know about the stab chord, but I figured, unless you're going to enter it in competition, who's going to know and for me at least, it's not worth the trouble to re-design the stab.
What other inaccuracies did you discover? The only other thing that I could find was the cross section of the front fuse. It LOOKS like it's too rounded and doesn't transition to the "3 sided" cross section soon enough. I'm not saying it's wrong, as Kerry is real good about accuracy, but looking at a head on and comparing it to the pics I have, it doesn't look right to me.
Do you need shots of the fin, fairings, etc of the real one or the model? I've got lots of detail shots of the aircraft if you need them.

WD40- The booms are not removable. I guess you design them to be removable, but it would take a bit of work.

I'm thinking of mounting the elevator servo forward and running a c/f pushrod through the cable hole. Also, I'm toying with the idea of making two hatches, as the single hatch is really long. Also thinking of duplicating the nose hatch and put switches, jacks, etc there instead of removing the hatch every flight.
BRG,
Jon
