Just to keep the thread up to date, here's pictures of the complete airplane in bones, ready to cover. As it sits, just under 2 oz. --with engine, tank & covering, I figure about 5 oz. RTF.
I did a little something different at the elevator horn/pushrod attachment, see 3rd pic. Just a wheel collar on a straight pushrod, with1/4" long set screw through the horn. Infinitely adjustable, no bends.
pic #4 shows the over/under LO guides I've been using for awhile.
Pic #5, angled blocks for engine offset--cut from the ends of a wooden spring-type closthespin.
Pic #6, the semi-monoboom/maybe-whaletail attachment: Center section planking extends over the TE, with a 1" wide notch the tail sits in, flush with the planking. One each top and bottom, laminated together behind the TE. Light and strong.
