Took the day off after the F12 disaster to clean out the garage. Figured out how to "fix" the problem. Go work on something else. Put some hooks in the ceiling, bought some rope. Hung the tail cone from the garage ceiling. I have plenty of empennage assemblies and control surfaces to work before I need to get back to the fuselage. Did a quick look at cost to replace this F12-01R. About $100, not including shipping, but including all details and fasteners. Not so bad, just a lot of time.
