Here are some more pictures:

Next we need to take the elevator halves and tape them to the hor. stab and mark the position for the joiner wire, which seems to be a piece of copper wire bent in a squared "U" shape.

Next, we create a hole to fit the joiner in the spot marked in the plans, and now it's time to create a groove for the joiner wire, we can acomplish this by taking a 1/8 brass tube (the ones that come with du-bro tanks will do) and get them sharp using a hobby knife, and use it to create the groove by removing a little wood at a time.





[hr]

The groove should be deep enough to conceal the joiner wire almost completely, in a way so when you place the elevator and the hor. stab together you have about 1/16 gap max.
This is to ensure that the joiner wire won't get in the way when moving the elevators.

Here go the vertical fin and the rudder





Ohhh and the ailerons too... this is going faster than expected... what a rush! [8D]



Stay tunned!
