I finished cutting all the perimeter pieces for the tail as well as some for the ailerons. In picture two you can see the really blonde pieces of balsa at the outside edges of the stab and inside edges of the elevator counter balances. These parts I used some 1/4 X 3/8 from my stash.

I also started on the hinge slotting process. For me, it is a lot easier to slot the pieces at this point versus fooling with it when the stuff is already built.
