I went to attach the stab and found a nasty crack where the two sides of
the aircraft are supposed to join at the rear!

I can see how it occurred, from the fin hinge-slot. But they should have fixed that in the factory! It was very easy to repair, but...

I also finished the aileron linkages today, and programmed the transmitter
for Flaperon. The ailerons now function normally, but when I roll in the
flap nob, they both descend a little, which should allow for a slower approach. I have not set any throws yet, but the programming is done.

I think I'll stop work for now, and watch The Aviator!

What a coincidence, I watched it just last night! It was a fun movie. I wonder how accurate it was in it's depiction of Howard. He was quite a strange individual.
