So does the horizontal stab have an aluminum tube like the wing? I do not mind gluing the horizontal on, I am building a cub right now and as many great planes models you have to put glue on the stab then slide it in, well...all of your epoxy runs down the fuse, then you have to clean it up before it cures.

I mounted my engine in my UCD .46 inverted with a remote glow starter, the cub I am about finished with has a Magnum .52 4 stroke inverted and will have a remote glow starter when I put the cowl on. The one in my UCD has been that way for over a year and never had any problems.

I agree about the cowl, I would rather cut up the bottom than put any holes on the sides, I want it be as scale as possible.
