Will the plane is all back together with a tail. Covered and ready for the radio and engine. Will have to do the CG all over again. Not sure if I am going stop at this point and start a new plane build for the 150cc 3 cylinder. Or finish of the Taylor Craft ready to fly, will have buy some radio equipment because I stole most of it for another plane.

just for reference this how the looked with the original tail section.

Well making progress slowly not in a rush anymore just plotting along and taking my time putting it back together again. The engine, canisters and throttle servo is installed.
Also the postman dropped off 9 new JR servos for the plane All XBus.

Also decided to add a little more support to the landing gear. Made a cable cross brace with compression springs Setup. It took a little doing and some lathe work for the parts but it worked out well. It add about an extra 35 lbs of load capability to each wheel. I just do not like or believe tension springs should be used on landing gear.
