I put the tail group on them this afternoon. I just bonded them on with thick CA, that has worked very well in the past. Just gotta make sure that the elevator linkage is connected and the keeper is on before bonding the stab to the fuse!!
The motors went back together nicely, just got to watch those little E clips, best to get some spares as they can have a tendency to time warp a long way into the future.
I've still got to cut the shafts off that hang out the back of them. I do this so it doesn't impale the lipo pack if the model crashes. The last thing I want is a crash in long dry grass followed by a fire from an impaled lipo. I'll use a cut off wheel and the dremel for that job.
