where there is a will...
Good call Rick - Jay is a good source for learning how to quickly complete your kit. He will get you going in the right direction and give you the confidence to go home and start making more airplane parts.
I measured my HS sitting without the fiberglass tip on it and it is :
98 1/2" wide by 22 1/2" long at the thickest/middle part of the HS and it is 3 3/8" thick at the thickest/inner part of the of the spar/airfoil.
You only asked about the HS - but the elevators are a little odd shaped with the counterweight extending out front on the outer ends and then the fattest part is in the inner part so if you were to build both the HS and the elevators, you would do better to take them home separated.
