Great progress and a great video - keep'em coming! One thing, though - the string you used to check that your HT was square to the fuselage is likely relatively "stretchy" over that distance. I think pulling tension on the string with your hand is too subjective to get a consistent measurement. On my build, I used a steel tape measure since it wouldn't' stretch - but it did require an assistant. One work-around would have been to tie a weight to the string and drape it over a screwdriver held at the tip of the HT - that way you would get a consistent pull on the string. However, in any case, you're likely very close and maybe your hand is "calibrated" for a consistent pull! LOL! Also, it's not a F-16 and if you're off a fraction of an inch, it won't matter one bit!

[@JoesRCCorner]

Thanks for your comment. I also (wasn’t showed in the video) checked with a measuring tape along with the math to ensure squared to the Fuselage center line. The string was a second sanity check and visual for the camera.

[@n206ja]

@@JoesRCCorner Only a second sanity check? I must have checked and rechecked those measurements a dozen times! LOL! But, after a while, one learns to chant the mantra, "It's not a F-16. It's not a F-16 ...." 🤪

[@JoesRCCorner]

@@n206ja Well, I called it a second check, but the second check happend 20+ times off camera. 😂👍

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Good progress as usual Joe, do you find uploading videos on your progress helps to keep you motivated?

[@JoesRCCorner]

That and it reminds me what I did last since it is usually a week between work sessions. 😂😆

[@scottmatthews5280]

Nice Joe. Are you sure you have negative, Leading edge down .9, ? Looks to be Leading edge high? Enjoying your journey.

[@JoesRCCorner]

Thanks for the comment. Yes I am sure.

[@mhilderbrand7693]

I didn’t put an access panel on my dorsal fin, but I think I will. Seems like a good idea! Do you happen to know your prop clearance from the ground BEFORE placing the spacer?

[@JoesRCCorner]

With out the 2 in longer strut and not tensioned properly, I am about 1.5-2in from the ground. I will re check this when i get the taller strut in place and if I want more I can add the viking spacer too.
