Looks good, talking about the weather it has been snowing for the last 8 hours and it is predicted that we are going to get at least 12 inch and more. So yes not going anywhere.

I just can not click the "LIKE" button Snoops. I hate snow. I feel your pain brother.

OMG! I wish I had some of that "can't work in it" weather.

Trust and believe, I wish I could work. I hate the time off. Oh well, Spring is coming.

I got as far as I am going to tonight fellas. I finished up the servo door rails and border. Then finished the servo doors and servo mounting blocks. Got the bottom right side of the stab sheeted. The rest will just have to wait. I have a CA Headache. LOL.



I really didn't know any other way of insuring a perfect alignment of the servo mounting blocks to the servo doors. Soooo.... I improvised. LOL. Basically what I did was slightly insert the servos into their perspective bays leaving them protruding out just a little. Then after applying the necessary amount of glue to "tack" them into position, carefully aligned the door over the correct location and layed them on top of the blocks. It actually worked great. Now I know they are perfectly set. After removing the servo door and servos from the servo bay, I finished the gluing process of the blocks to the inside of the doors and set aside to cure. Once that was done, I sheeted the bottom right side of the stab.

On the down hill slope now and should have the stab/elevators ready for shape sanding by the weekend.

Thanks for following guys. More later.

Thanks Bart. That means a lot to me. Unless... you're taking notes on what "NOT" to do. Lol

A little more work on the Mustang stab and elevators after work today. Which actually leaves very little yet to do. I accomplished getting the stabs and elevators sheeted on the bottom. Slotted the elevators for the control horns. Which was very easy since all I had to do was slice the sheeting over the top of the preexisting slots in the control horn blocks. About all that is left to do is glue the tips on the ends of the stabs and elevators. Then shape and sand and set aside for glassing.



I will probably finish the stabs/elevators this weekend and set them aside.

More yet to come.
