Unhappy

As you can see the stab assembly is only an approximation of what is called for in the plans.This is pretty much standard for Model Airways kits.OK for my purposes but for a stand alone model the plans can not be relied upon without a lot of extra research as to their accuracy.

Tail skid and bottom fin assembly.

Except for the bottom of the tail skid and the fitting ,most of this area will be covered over with plywood.I decided to build the detail anyway in case I change my mind and leave it partially open.The tail skid itself would be made from hickory as it is a very strong yet highly bendable wood that retains its shape.(mine is made from cherry wood)
