Today was a landmark day in the "programme", the fin / rudder assemblies were installed without incident. The angles were set with a right triangle shooting off identically placed marks on the wing. Too easy.
The fillets are strips of blue foam stuck on with 3M77 and sanded with paper wrapped around a dowel. A minimum amount of spackle is needed, but the foam blends to the wood very nicely. A coat of epoxy to seal the foam goes on next, then a layer of cloth and more resin to give the plane a tough skin where it will be rough handled.
I think the finished weight will be well within what a pair of .074s can carry vertical, and the plane looks like it might balance with just proper battery placement. Good!
