In step 5 add the 1/16" square stock to the other side of the rear half. The front half gets C1A, C6A, and C7A added to both sides as well as 1/16" square stock to both sides of the four ribs nearest the fuselage.

In step 4 add all of the 1/16"x1/4" rib cores to the front half and 1/16" square pieces to the rear half. Note that the 1/16"x1/4" pieces run right across some openings where it doesn't belong, cut those out later after the parts are shaped.

The instructions for building the elevator-stabilizer are fairly good, but for the rudder-fins simply say "build in a similar manner" which isn't particularly helpful so I will try to elaborate a bit. What you see here is step 3, the first step is to trim your sheet wood parts to fit the templates shown at the top of this photo. Step 2 is to join C1-C2-C9B, C6-C7-C8B, and C3-C4-C5-C8A-C9A together flat on the plans. Here in step 3 you raise those sheet wood assemblies up 1/16" using shims and glue on the vertical 1/16"x1/4" main spars with a 1/16" shim in the gap for the hinge.

The movable scale elevator-stabilizer is built and ready for shaping. Progress has slowed lately for family gatherings such as my grandparent's 70th wedding anniversary.
