I see no one has made a comment yet on Pt I & II.   That is amazing what can be done with CAD plans and Laser cutting.  I like it. H^^

Doc I could not believe the amount of balsa in this kit. It took almost an hour just to laser cut everything.  I was amazed when Eric sent me the laser cut parts.  It is a beautiful piece of work.

Looks great Mike!

Is the T-shaped piece one piece or built up from 2 pieces?

Chris the strips are laser cut and in the kit but you do have to glue them to the trailing edge of the horizontal stab.  That is so that the horns on the ribs are even with the top of the stab.
