Tail close-up view. The stab on my competition model is detachable as I mentioned already. The kit has a permanently glued stab, but is easy to modify and make it detachable if needed. View from the left on the tail. Notice the pushrod exit from the boom. The control horn in the kit is spectra-carbon type, not the fancy plastic horn that is shown here. View from the top on the wing center and the nose pod. Two carbon dowels and one nylon bolt used for wing attachment. Nose pod with canopy open. 2 HS-55 servos and Hitec Super-Slim receiver visible. Notice the front bulkhead and the carbon wing attachment dowels. Lead shot used for the nose weight (about 0.3oz was needed for this plane). If the tail is done standard (not detachable) no nose weight should be needed. View from the bottom. Servos glued with epoxy and microballoon mixture (white stuff visible through the fuselage). Generous amount of carbon in the fuselage sides to take the side loads during the launch both from the tailboom and from the nose. Another view of the tail. Note the attachment nylon bolts and the plywood reinforcement on the stab.
