RE: ZIROLI P-61 BLACK WIDOW BUILD
Kram,
Iowa looks to be about the same distance as Fond du lac so, depending on what's going on then, I may show up.

Got distracted the last few days doing federal income taxes and fixing my truck heater fan that stopped working.
(not good when it's 20 degrees outside!)

Booms (cont)
I needed some more aluminum 'L' servo mounting brackets so I cut up the remaining 'L' channel and made a bunch more.
On getting the fins perfectly vertical, I figure that I can dry fit the fins to the booms and then screw on the horizontal stab to the fins, measure that distance, transfer the distance to the two fire walls, secure a stick to the fire walls to hold the front, then put the center wing on and drill the mounted holes and secure the booms to the wing: I'll then be able to glue the fins onto the booms insuring that they are vertical.

Where I'll be putting the HS-645's in the fins to control the rudders.

Table cleared for the booms to eventually be secured to the center wing and horizontal stab.
