Brief Description:  XL Stabilizer Conversion

I've spent a lot of time drilling out rivets and replacing them with larger ones per the XL plans. Re-building the horns and making them fit the existing installation was much harder than fabricating them the first time. This time they had to fit pre-existing holes! I'm finally to the point of finishing up the tail. I've still got a little trimming, etc. to do, but for the most part I'm creeping up on having a complete empennage. The elevator was much more difficult than I had imagined. Of course it didn't help that I switched models mid-stream and had to make a lot of revisions, but having a full-length trim tab and working to an exact standard is very time consuming. Don't get me wrong, I'm having a blast, but I'm ready to put the empennage to bed and start on the wings. Flaps first, then ailerons, then wings.
