Sent off the wire transfer to Aerosport paying for the engine. It will ship 21 Aug.
Got the vertical fin and rudder from storage. Cut the aft ends of the longerons (I left them long on purpose) so the rudder veritcal spar snugged into place. Per the plans, I'll need to fit the stabilizer before the rudder.
As you can see in the images, the stabilizer and elevators are still at the unit. All good there, no moisture, no evidence of any varmints.
