Default Seamaster on the snow

I got this as an early Christmas present. It's a kit built Seamaster with an OS 46 SF for power. I don't know much about this engine, but so far I'm impressed. I don't know how long it's been since this engine has been run, but I took it outside to test run it. It was less than ten degrees out and started on the second prop flip[X(] I taxied it around in my back yard and it handles the snow very well. I'm really looking forward to test flying it, but it's been bitterly cold here in WI. It's supposed to get up in the 20's on Thurs so maybe I'll have a flight report soon. My only concern is that the vertical stab seems a bit flimsy. It is very easy to twist side to side. Is this normal? It doesn't seem like anything is broken in there, so I hope it's supposed to be like that. Anyway here's some pics from my backyard.


-edit..
I just wanted to add that I got this from a swapmeet, that's why I don't know much about the engine or the quailty of the build.
