Why do i have to re-build the vertical stabilizer? I think that the picture below speaks for itself. The stabilizer is straight at the bottom but becomes twisted on top. In order to get a flyable machine i need to fix that misalignment. This error i totally have to put onto myself and i credit it to my nowise skills in model airplane building.

Before i start to dismantle the stabilizer i just wanted to get a view of the how it eventually will look like. Must say i eager the time it all get finished.

OK, the ribs are cut into shape and mounted onto the jig. All i have to do now is to glue the leading and trailing edge to the ribs. That will, however, have to wait until the weekend.

Hopefully i will get it straight this time.........

This time it seem like i got it right!

The following two photos shows that the aircraft may be flyable anyway. Now i will glue it in place and start to complete the sheeting of the fuslage. Than i will start to construct the wings. This model is not intended to be build with flaps, so i need a little time to figure out how to do it.

Just started to install the horizontal stabilizer. It has to be built into bals block that will form the top of the vertical stabilizer.

The rear part of the model starts to take form. Now the elevator and the rudder are fitted although not fastened. The hinges are in place and ready to be glued as soon as the aircraft is covered or painted. I'm starting to think about glassing the before painting it - instead of covering........

Just a close up of the top of the vertical stabilizer. Not quite completed yet, but starts to look nice....

Just started to build the right wing half. As seen on the photo i have transferred the drawing onto transparent paper and taped it onto a plane surface. This way i hope to build a straight wing.

One of the engine boxes being glued together. I use 30 min epoxy all over here.
