Episode 5 - Flight & review:
"The tail unit was of all-metal construction except for the rudder and elevators, which were fabric covered. The tail fin formed an integral part with the rear fuselage, while the horizontal tail surfaces were attached just above the fuselage centerline.
Each elevator had a metal trim tab that could be controlled by the pilot, but the rudder trim tab could only be adjusted on the ground."

Did you cut away some of the covering to get a good contact with the glue?
This is sweet.
Yes, not all of it though. There is almost no wood inside the fuse below the stab, and just a little bit above (because of many lightening holes) So, since the opening for the stab is longer than the stab itself, I decided to push it all the way back and made sure there was bare wood for the glue there. There is plenty of wood on both the top and bottom of the fuse SIDES...so I removed just a bit of covering just inside....but I wanted to keep the lines clean.

It came out good, I just finished Westland Lysander the build is very similar but this by far is a better build I'm going to pick one up soon , especially knowing supplies will be drying up do to supply chain problems.
Yes, I've done the same thing...I have my next 4 planes ready to put together. (and all equipment) Get your stuff now!
Have you built the Phoenix models F4U corsair 46 size?
I just bought one, I ordered all the electronics just waiting for my delivery from tower hobbies. I would love to see you build this one next I'm it would come out perfect.
No, sorry...but I DID just receive the 20cc Phoenix FW-190 - www.towerhobbies.com/product/focke-wulf-fw-190-ep-1.20-20cc-arf-68/PMMA1890.html

I've got a question about the tail codes, and I hope you'll know the answer. I built a model that had the tail code "3-116", with one red horizontal stripe and no ABC characters. If "116" refers to the type of plane and its individual number, then what does the "3" prefix mean?
