Default RE: Balsa USA Super Cub Build

Well the trimming is complete, finshed at 10PM tonight, all told took about 10 hours to trim and final shrink to 330F. The manual states 350F is final shrink, I just couldn't go that far. Everything is nice and tight so way push the limits? The rudder post came out better than expected, I will use the envelope technique in the future on my next build.
I have built several airplanes, without a doubt, this is this best looking transisition at the rudder post I have ever done. I can't get the same effect with Monokote and balsa filler.
