Pics of the horizontal stab and elevators. Too tired to sheet them tonight. [&o]

I altered the elevators a bit. I want them to have a counterbalance and look a bit more like the Decathlon. I need to add a few triangle balsa gussets here and there on both the stabilizer and the elevators. The elevators are twisting really bad, so I plan to run some triangle braces to add torsional strength. Also need to add some hard points in the elevators for the control horns. I am still undecided, but I might put a couple hard points in the horizontal stabilizer for flying wires.
