i see the LE is even, stab and wing that is, and when i did mine there was no way it could be done. one would need to draw a line from wing le(side view) to the tip of the stab Le, them copy that angel. 62.5 iirc. you just showed me a pic of a flying BW and i saw a convexed LE right at the blend (it is what i would expect if one did not alter the stab but left it stock). so, did you make a new airfoil temp for cutting the big end of your stab ? it looks factory ? even i cant read this...i will dodal it, tap,tap, here you are
-
did you follow......i'll pm this. sorry
-
on it, thanks
-
i put in a cap and a spar (in the first wing/blend). i tapered the tape as it got closer to the tip (it made no sense to put all that wight up there). i kept the cap 3" all the way up mine is also one long run, no splice, although ilbet yours was a lot easier to cover;)
-
i just did my last wing/blend and with hope i'll get the stab on tomarow its funny how mine looks so much like yours...

you have a bolt,sham on you. 150 buck if you use a rod with end thead you can save 50 bucks. the bolt can not be removed after the fire wall is in ?? i drilled a hole in my fire wall to use plan old tubing to hole and aline things and will install the bolts later. -
