Dale,
Will see what I can do with that idea. The original plans showed 3/8" balsa sheet for the elevator, but I did plane it down to a scale thickness on the edge. Thin is naturally better and as J said, can be done to at least simulate scale thickness. True scale dimensions call for a 3/32" measurement. Builders do it good with the Mick Reeves Sopwith kits.
Here are the ribs showing the interesting tab for building the wing inverted. This should simplify things. Also the sawtooth LE just fell out of the sheet. You can see the end where you join it to the next leading edge sheeting with CA. All the hard stuff is done! The balsa is really good, no more die-crunch for me.
