Default RE: Black Magic VF3 E build thread!

First try to upload images. Hopefully it works.

The fuz starting to take shape in the background and my stab template for cutting lightening holes in the foreground.

Something to watch out for is that the 4 5/8" measurement at the root for determining the elevator is wrong. It should be 4 3/8" (The tip measurement of 3.25" is correct). If you use this measurement as a reference line (as I did) without checking it your wing tube will not be at 90deg to the root face and you will need to do some serious work to align the stab halves.
