well, i just started building a -9 tail and am taking a little beak in order to pull a little hair and perhaps consume an adult beverage or 2.
my problem? i can't seem to build a proper trailing edge to save my life. the rudder was "better" (a relative term) when i hand bucked the rivets rather than back riveting them. the right elevator rivets were marginally acceptable but the TE is not very nice. i suspect i will use them for now but niether is what i'ld call "show" quality.
i haven't seen anybody write about this.....am i the only one having these problems? if not, how did you fix it or what did you do different from the plans or the film?
i WILL check in on the local EAA chapter. i think they are a great resource.
anyway
thanks
