Spiderbaby,

Sadly, the plane in the photo I posted is not mine - I got the pic from a Google image search. My building has pretty much come to a halt recently, although I hope to get this rectified.

However, I did have a look at what's left to be done on my Arrow and couldn't quite figure out how the tail pieces are supposed to be attached securely. Firstly, the horizontal stabiliser and elevator don't quite fit through the holes in each side of the fuselage. To make this fit would mean either cutting or sanding the fuselage and/or stabiliser - something I'm not keen on as this could change the angle of the flying surfaces.

Secondly, how does the vertical stabiliser attach to the fuselage safely? It looks to me as if you're supposed to remove a piece of the planking from the top of the fuselage and then glue the whole thing in to the gap(?).

Lastly, I can't quite figure out whether I have a faulty nose leg/wheel setup or if I just haven't grasped the whole issue but, it looks like the steering arm is secured via a small grub allen screw, although I can't find this and nor is there a threaded whole to receive this. The brass tube appears to be a very tight fit in the plastic firewall mount and I don't understand how the piano wire leg is secured.

Could you possibly post pictures of your build when and how you get around to tackling these bits, please, and also when you address the wing leading edge extensions?

Thanks a million,
Andrew
