Tail Complete

Okay I finally got through the holidays and actually worked on the plane some.  The tail is finished, complete with fiberglass tips and trim tab.  The tips turned out easier than I anticipated.  I'm sure there will be some touchup prior to painting them, but that's a long way off.  I even put the wheels together and got the drum brakes assembled. I'm not sure what brought that on, they were just sitting there so I figured why not.  We'll be moving back to Charlotte, NC in June and I need to start preparing.  I hope to complete the ailerons and flaps before we go.  I might be able to start on the front and rear wing spars but I doubt much more will get done before the move.  Here are some completion pics...
