Not done much for the last couple of months. Work, summer holiday and work have gotten in the way. These shots show the tail being built and mounted. The cabling has caused me to lose some hair, but the working rudder was worth it Grin
It is a little further along that these pictures show, the elevator cables are half installed. They are being right little "§$%&'+#'s so I have taken a short break from them. I will pick it up again next week.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.
