Default The build continues...

Squeezed in another hour and a bit tonight (girlfriend was washing her hair :stupid: ). Now finished the rudder, fin and stab. Still need to be sanded and beveled, and have the hinge slots cut. Shouldn't take long.

Not a huge amount to say. The rudder comes out very stiff like the elevators. Weight of all is 63g (about 2.25 oz).

I am surprised that the fin and stab are sheet and not built up, not a problem, just a surprise. I do recomend putting on the cross grain capping as suggested in the instructions/plan. I noted that the fin could bend quite a bit. Fine once the capping in place though.

I'll try to post the photos when I get a chance.

Need to go now, girlfriend wants to look at holidays (RC Hotel, Corfu perhaps )
