[B]Wow - thanks for all the quick, good responses. I appreciate it.

the only thing that caught me off guard was hearing about failure of the horiz stab - has anybody else experienced this?

I am just finishing mine and I do agree that the stab does seem to be the weak point of the model. It doesn't take much hand force to flex that thing, so I think I am going to brace it to be on the safe side.
