Yeah, I sheeted it all in 1/32 contest grade sheets, I had some 6" laying around, so I used it. It made the tail very strong and resist twists, it didn't add much weight at all, since the original was sanded to a airfoil shape and then sheeted.I did do the new aircraft ply LG mounting wood and reinforced the doublers, opend up the rear holes a touch and a few other areas as well. With everything in it and no covering it weighed 5# 14 ozs I think, I scribled it down on the bench for future reference.
