Default RE: Tiger 60 Build Thread

I was able to finish up the H-stab this afternoon. I added the rest of the internal bracing, trimmed the tabs at the elevator edges since I'm going to use full width elevator halves, and rounded the edges. The elevator halves are going to be made from 3/8x2" trailing edge stock as it is just the right width and thickness and is already tapered. I'll finish up the elevators after I have the tail group framed and can dry-fit everything to the fuselage. I was also able to get the V-stab is also framed up and ready to start on the rudder. I'm going to extend the rudder by 1.5" on the top edge and 2.5" on the bottom edge in an attempt to achieve some more rudder authority. The last picture shows the rudder trailing edge close to the actual position.
