Let me see what you guys think about this.
First question.

The black arrows point to what seems to be a piece of the vertical stab structure.

This photo shows the sheeting in it's place. It would seem that this piece is captured by the sheeting along with another piece of 1/4" square balsa for hinge support. The next photo is a top view of the same area. It does not show this to be true. The bottom sheeting (no photo) is about 5/8" wide at this end, not pointed as it would be for the top view. It makes more since to me that the side view interpretation is correct. What do you guys think?

Second question.

The elevator seems to be one piece with an uninterrupted leading edge. The red arrow from the earlier photo shows this lining up with the piece from the VS in the earlier question. If I cut a hole hear for the elevator LE to move in, I would have to cut it through the VS piece. If I do that, I don't see what would be holding the VS in place other than the top sheeting. The VS does not show a piece were it meets the Horizontal Stab. It seem that I could add one and then it would be glued to the HS as well as the top sheeting. I know I can work this out myself, but I thought maybe you guys might see something I am missing. Maybe I am misreading the plans.
