Do you have some good close up pictures of the tail sections? I am totally lost on how that all goes together. Can’t figure out exactly hot the balsa blocks for the horizontal stab mounts in the fus. Also how the vert stab mounts.

Bob, these are the only photos that I have of the uncovered tail section. I hope that they may be of some use to you.

Tail assembly

I may be able to assisst with some pics from my build, if it's OK with tubig.

I found it easier to complete the fuselage covering and finish prior to attaching the stab halves to it.
Note that you need to maintain a gap between the stab root and the fuselage side, this is scale!
