Love and airplanes

Empennage

Glued together the elevator just like I did for the horizontal stabilizer. This section looks the best of all the parts I built so far. There was one little “woops” when I cut the center rib. I cut the offset to 1/4” instead of 3/8” wide. I think I solved the issue by gluing a couple pieces of 1/16” plywood along each side when I put the gusset on. Karin informed me that I'm getting obsessed with this and she's starting to feel I'm not spending time with her because I don't like her. We sat down and talked about how I do love her but I'm missing sending the right love language to her. I'm going to make a real effort to spend time with her every day.
