Well it's time to put the Empenage on the back of the Fuselage. This took lots of head scratching, measuring and eyeballing before I ever drilled the first hole. Actually after it was all done, I think I got it right the first time.

Well here goes. It the start of getting the tail centered and attached permanently. It was a task that took good measuring and better measuring and the measuring all over again to be sure it was right before measuring the final time to drill. |

I didn't like the placement of the plans called for attachment so I moved it back for a better stick placement. I don't think it will cause me any grief. |
