Sorry for the dead air lately. It's been a busy week and we just got about 6" of that icky white stuff yesterday.

I've pretty much finished up the basic construction of the V-fin and rudder. I still need to bevel the hinge line and slit the hinges, but that will come closer to final assembly of the tail group. The next step is to modify the wing plans to shorten and strengthen the wing. I was able to obtain a second set of plans from a friend, which makes it nice to be able to mark up a set without altering my originals. As described in the article, I will be changing the rib spacing to 3" and adding 3 more ribs per side, while still shortening the length by one bay on each side. Hopefully I'll have some build time later this afternoon and can get some pics posted. Stay tuned...
