Elder 40 Tail

I glued my stabilizers on last night and it doesnt feel like the horizontal stabilizer is attatched to the fuse very well.. Is this just due to the small amount of surface area on this plane? I also used tri stock to help increase the amount of gluing area I had on the bottom of the horizontal stab.. Has anyone else noticed how flimsy this feels?

LOL,,, I too took a second look when I glued the horizontal stab on but in the end I decided it was sufficient because the plane isn't going to be doing stunts.

RE: Elder 40 Tail

I built the Elder a year ago and I put wires from the top of the rudder to the edge of the elevator and it seemed to make the tail section alot more ridged.
