I started, I started, I started!!! Well, nothing major, but I started both the Mk. III and the Mk. II horizontal stabilizer. The Mk. III is one step ahead, as I was able to glue the frame on one side of the 1\/16\u201d covering. The Mk. II was done \u201cin the open\u201d and will be entirely covered later on. I bought a 3\/16\u201d balsa sheet for the Mk. II framing (I didn\u2019t check if I already had it; I bought another piece just to be sure\u2026). Once I\u2019m finished with the sandwich, I\u2019ll cut the elevators and the vertical (fin and rudder for both planes) and I\u2019ll set them aside.

Even if the total area is more or less the same, the Mk. III has larger elevators and smaller stabilizer, so I couldn\u2019t use the pre-printed balsa covering of the Mk. III (I had two of them) to start a Mk. II stabilizer\u2026 Well, too bad!
