And heres the elavator on the rudder .

I have found one problem as i had to make a small cut to losen the spot to slide the elavator in so I might have some more sanding to do [:@]

Watch the elevator pushrod for flexing when in the 'up' position. I had to solder the ends to stop that.

Hi Jeff, great thread as I just laid my kit out on the bench to begin building. I have a small problem though. I am missing the Two outer halves for the fin. I am going to call GP to see if I can get replacement parts. I hope so cause I do not want to have to make my own. Do you know if we can get replacement parts from GP or anyone else?
Any tips on what you finished so far?
Hope to see more pics soon.
Thanks again for the post.
Take care, Marco.

I've been waiting for a build thread on this plane. I've been trying to figure out what to build next. I've been eyeballing the TF 182 but then I remember how much fun I had building the GP F4! Of course I still have my Direct Connection F-18 waiting to be built...

Gutmark, do you have the GreatPlanes Learjet already? If not there are Two on Ebay right now.
