Thank you Ken, I'm in awe of your 504
I got the tailplane and elevators made last night:
This is about the third different way of doing this I have tried - this is a 0.010"/0.020"/0.010" sandwich, the thin sheets being scribed
If I'd thought about it (or made a plan!) I'd have spotted the fuselage is different to a Pup. The upper longerons on a Pup run right to the sternpost, the tailplane sits on top and there is a sort of streamlined fairing on top of the fuselage. The Tabloid doesn't seem to have this fairing, so the top of the tailplane must be level with the top of the longeron, there being a step in the fuselage. The Pup longerons are easier to make and stronger.
As a result, I had to cut a vee out of two of the layers of the sandwich leaving just an 0.010" piece to hold the tailplane together:
The struts under the tailplane are going to have to do their job properly on this one!
