Default RE: 42% Super Decathlon Build

I have now finished the horizontal tail assembly. It turned out really well. It measures 51 3/8" across.

I did taper the elevators from the center line of 3/4" to 1/4" at the trailing edge. Tomorrow I will add a counter balance weight on each elevator. Most of the tapering was done with a vertical belt sander. It was finished with a sanding block.
