| Have to p.m. James so he can create a Top Flight Spitfire Mk IX category. Tomorrow the center section and then 63" ws. bird appears. |

Second wing section. Once the blue tape begins to show the wing former, using a finer grit now will bring the basswood spars and trailing edges flush w/o cutting binto the balsa. |

A little more rounding on the elevator leading edge will get me to the specified throws required. Robart hinge points perform nicely. |

A strip of 1/32" plywood recessed at trailing edge will hide elevator gap and eliminate some flutter. |

Oh too bad. Mother natures' surprise will force me to stay in today and work on the Spit. He-he-he...... |

| The 5/32" brass tube shown will be used to cut out a recess for the elevator collar rod into the front of the elevator. I will install a 1/32" plywood strip recessed at the rear of the stab to hide the soon to be rounded edge of the elevators. Tomorrow should be a busy day. |

hit the big 52 today, actually it hit me. Sneaking in a little time for elevator assembly. Robart hinge point hinges and 1/8" metal tie-in laid out for drillling tomorrow. |

| James, could you please create a spot for this in my hangar. Much appreciated, Moostang. |

Rudder assembly. I drilled lots of lightening holes in this and the stabilizer frame prior to covering with 1/16 skin. |
| moostang51, Image # 9998 | 27 Nov 08 12:46 |
Initial shaping and sanding complete. Will fit for hinge points and store away. |

Scouring e-bay, found some retracts. Learning to fly on a simulator. This one will fly someday. |
