Horiz.Stab./Sternpost /An Aviator
Boy am I glad that I waited to construct the turtle deck until after the position of the horiz stab relative to the sternpost was establised.Where the sternpost post and trailing edge of the fin meet the rudder is critical.If I had followed the instruction booklet I would be having problems at this point.This is where having built the Beech Travelair in the 60s really helps with my model building as I find that following the sequence of a 1:1 scale build is the best general practice.
To all my fellow Aviators out there whether your a pilot or not:
And lets get one thing straight.There is a big difference between a pilot and an aviator.One is a technician;the other is an artist in love with flight.
