... The wings were not on when I glued in the stab, and only after I got the wings on did I notice the stab is tilted in relation to the wings.
Never assume that any ARF is in perfect alignment. Check them out before you even look at any glue.
If it is just ever so slight you can fly it that way but if you're concerned about aesthetics you may have to jackhammer that Gorilla glue out of there.
I'd be more concerned about that pusher prop (your 1st picture).
.. and yes, I am VERY concerned with aesthetics.
Your statement is very true, however the wings WERE on .. when I measured up everything and marked it. I had a little bit of difficulty getting the corner tip of stab to the corner tip of wing to measure out initially. After I got those measurements to equal ... all looked OK. What I didn't do was pick up the tail and visually inspect that the stab and wing were on the same horizontal plane. I never thought that the plywood sides of the fuselage might be 1/16 off. .... 1/16" off at the fuse shows up as something like 3/8" off at the tip, when comparing left stab tip to right stab tip .. and to me is very noticeable.[&o]
.... That first pic is the manufacturer's pic, .. and yes that does look like a pusher prop they have on it. Now you see what I'm dealing with
