I don’t think so my covering skills are not that good. But to add to that if it was not for @pawnshopmike who was kind enough to help me out With some special CA hinges that can stand up to vigorous of racing plane conditions. My build came to stop I had no hinges to continue but Pawn-Shop-Mike saved the day and the build.

Got the elevator halves removed from the stabilizer and the steel connection pin made and fitted. Delicate job getting the pin fitted into the 2 elevator halves.

The tail section is build, just have to work on control rods for the elevator and rudder. Once that is done close of the top section and make a hatch to service the servos.

It is getting close. Top cross grain balsa is on just needs to dry and the edges cleaned off. The carbon rods have been installed and supported every 4 inches. Just finish off the hatch. Then lots of sanding and filling and preparation for covering. Still have no idea of colour scheme. That is one part I suck at just have no colour coordination. My best bet is pull out my left over covering rolls and make do..
One conclusion is it has been a very wet and cold May started the plane May the 7th and it is not even the end of May and all wood work is almost done.

I installed the wiring in my new shop, does this count as "What I did in my shop"? lol.....
It is only a 12 x 24 but it will do when done.

It only counts if there are planes in it and some balsa dust.
