How is the stabilizer held in place all glued in or on a tube if on tube make an eccentric bushing that you can adjust.

There are three tubes that the stabilizer and elevator slide onto. The front tube is glued/bolted to wood platform, the stabilizer rear tube is supported by "v" shaped aluminum sheets that are screwed to the rudder post, and the elevator tube floats and is attached to the elevator halves. My plan is to build the stabilizer and see where I go from there, follow to plans or redesign?

Depending on the location of the aluminum Plate with a v shape . If it is mounted strategically you can shim it up or down depending on how it fly’s and when you find the spot glue it in solid. It will rotate around the front pin.

Got to use the drum sander again on this build, put the radius in the door window opening and the aluminum for the door skin. The aluminum provides a 1/8" flange for the window. Don't use it often but it is great for radius work. Was a little worried about the .012 thick aluminum sheet but it worked fine.
