The "way" is just making the root ribs out of balsa instead of lite ply. Larry is looking to save every gram off the tail that he can. I did the same thing to the Evil Red ***** when I thought it had a balance issue. It didn't, but the balsa roots are an overkill solution. but you have to make small lite ply plates to mount the adjusters to, which adds to thier depth. hence the pin needs to be 1/4" longer overall if it's flush with the adjusters. I don't like to trim them flush. because if a screw comes out of the stab, I like the idea of a hair more security on the pin. A lot of people use the pin only to hold the stabs in place. I wouldn't do that on a glow plane....</p>

Now hurry up and get done Larry. You're late....</p>
