Easy Tail Assembly Repairs

I was lucky and had all clean breaks, made repairs pretty easy; epoxy drying (overnight) for each piece took up most of the time.
I aligned the outer tips of the elevator to the center of the front fuse, leveled and epoxied/clamped into place.
Aligned and epoxied the rudder in place, and waited to dry over night before reinforcing with glass (used epoxy as resin) on both sides.
Glued block fillers that were rough sanded, applied some balsa filler for final sanding; before covering.

Thanks for looking…

After removing the engine to reposition the bent carb, found fuel in it, and the muffler, as well as some in the tank while checking the CG.
I cheated on the wing repairs; Christian sold me a new set, so I could finish-off the season. I’ll repair the other set over the winter, got a feeling I’m going to need it, LOL!
