I noticed that there are issues with the structure of the tail, that is why I plan to replace both the horizontal and vertical stabs with airfoil shapes, fully sheathed (1/32 inch), and using composites for the spars to stiffen them as well as allow for more ridged mounting to the fuselage. As an additional note, I intend to sheath the plane and use carbon fiber veil applied with dope for the finish.

I thought it had wash-in but when I looked at the manual, I did not come across mention of it.

Thanks for the hint about the COG I will have to keep that in mind.

Gee, I thought that putting fairings would be a big plus, given that thick wing sticking out of the fuselage would cause a lot of disturbed airflow along the rear portion of the fuselage. Oh well, I guess I will just have to do it because it will look good, hopefully without screwing up the design, or performance to much...

I have got to find out how this would improve "decoupling"....
