Well, had a break over Christmas - went to Singapore and had a delighful 2 weeks od relaxation with great friends. At T3 the gents has an expansive window above the unrinals loking directly at the main runway - and at the 380 gate - what a perfect view for a dunny!!
Back to the mighty Lightning - will fit the tail feathers now and have a break from the canopy. When my eye and hand are back in again I will go back to the canopy and finish it - but I wanted something more straight-forward to do for now. I measured from the firewall to the tips of the stabilisers to check the square and found the LH side to be 1/8 further away. As it happnes, with a straight edge along the trailing edge of both stabilisers, I needed to remove 1/8 from one to make them parallel and true - so it came off the LH trailing edge.
