Glued vertical stabilizer

I glued together the vertical stabilizer this weekend. It came together faster than I had expected and sturdier then I anticipated, too. When the glue dried, I took out all the staples and sanded off the rough spots. My first component for the airplane is completed.

Here is a picture of the anchor nut that will hold the vertical stabilizer in place. I had to try to find some wood screws to hold it in place. Found some #1 wood screws at Ace on Gilbert that had them.
