Here is the stabilizer all framed up and ready for sheeting. I had to a lot of sanding to obtain the air foil for the stab on the leading edge. I used the Master Air Screw balsa stripper to make all the formers. Its another of the inexpensive, yet amazing tools. Now the rear edge of the elevator is all cut out. I used 1/8 inch lite ply and once again I taped the two pieces of wood together so both parts are the same. It was cut out on the band saw and final sanded with the disc sander.

 The elevator almost ready to be sheeted. I need to install some hinge blocks, an elevator joiner block, sand the trailing edge for the proper air foil and sheet it with 1/16 inch balsa. Once again all the formers are cut with the balsa stripper.
