Even more progress.

 I reached the stage where I had to put the stab. in. After a lot of measuring and looking I tacked it in. Then while adjusting the elevator push rod I broke the stab off. After a lot of measuring and looking I tacked it in again. I made the back end of the turtle deck that covers the fin/rudder so that's ready to get glued on. I assembled the flaps and checked the throws on the elevator when set to the plans. 20 degrees up and down. I think it will need more but for now that's where it will be for the test flights. While I had it mostly assembled I weighed it and it's 55.5 ounces. Right where my calculations had it.
