Brief Description: Vertical fin

Removed the vertical fin, added two rivets to the corners of the rear doubler plates. Sanded a small radius on the trailing edge tips of the fin to remove the sharp corners. Drilled a small drain hole at the lowest point of the tail skid and in the wood plug in the bottom of the fin. Filed the heads of the screws securing the wood plugs flush with the skin. Filed down the sharp edges of the trailing edge. Just need to soak the wood plugs with CA and final sand them and the fins will be ready for paint.
