Great picture, Jim, thanks for sharing!

I mounted the landing gear last night and soldered the two pieces together with copper wire and solder. I used my wife's creme brule butane torch to solder the joint and it worked really well (as long as she never finds out). I'll be removing the LG to paint them black. The instructions call for mounting the tail skid but I'm going to hold off on that until after the model is covered because I think it will just get in the way.

In the one picture below you can see my draft design of the Jenny style tail feathers resized for the Antic. The rudder looks pretty good, but I may move the hing line aft by about 1/2" to increase the vertical stab area and reduce the rudder area so it is closer to stock size. The horizontal stab looks really big, but it is big on the Jenny so this makes sense. The horizontal stab matches the stock Antic area pretty much exactly, but the Jenny style elevator is much larger than stock so I may reduce the chord of the new elevator by an inch or so.

Tony - I'll post some measurements tonight. The aerodynamic center of the Jenny style vertical stab and rudder are more aft than the stock Antic, do you think this would be okay? Maybe we can meet up this week and look at the plans together.
