To continue on with the horizontal stabilizer.

Up to now you should have the horizontal stabilizer laid out on your building board, but there shouldn't be any pieced glued together. If you are using CA you can easily start to glue the assembly together. Wick the thin CA into each joint of the stabilizer. If you are using wood glue like I am you'll need to take the parts out to apply glue to them. But this isn't really a big deal. Just do one part at a time and then replace it back on the building board. It doesn't take all that long to do. I had everything glued up and set in about 5-10 minutes work. I'm not going to go into a lot of detail about this because it's a pretty simple step here. Pictures #1-5 show how I secured the work area while the glue dried. Pictures #6, #7, and #8 show the horizontal stabilizer completed when it was removed from the building board.

The next step will be to build the vertical fin.
