After reading about all of the problems with the stab, I decided to brace mine. I have been thinking about it when I fly and have not been willing to wring it out. I used aluminum strut tube and flattened it at the ends and fuse. I glued a block of balsa between the stringers to put a #2 wood screw into. I wicked CA into all the holes and used 4-40 bolts through the stab. It is nice and stiff and added minimal weight.







While I was at it I changed the wheels and axles. I added a ply plate to the inside of the pants for strength. This was a much easier setup and is stronger.
