Tail rotor bulkhead glued in from both sides,
Hole in fin to allow for wiring since I glue the
vertical stab in place( I never take em off
! ) .A small brass lead wire to guide the route for
LED.
Important:Hard
boom conversion:
check tail box mounting flange with the hard
boom in place to make sure the
boom is right up against bulkhead with mechs
bolted in place. You will not have to cut
hard boom at all, just set the tail box
bulkhead deep enough to meet boom. Boom then
slides over protruding housing of tail box
once it is installed.
......
Winglets are glued on from back side only,
Here is the best way I think to make light weight
parts for trim tabs. I use .030 plastic available
at any good hobby shop. They look metal
once painted and weigh practically nothing.
... 
Slots are cut to accept tabs and glued in
with epoxy. Note rear LED is squared off.
....
Led is in place waiting for me to make
up the bezel that surround it. Wire routed to front
of wood system where electronics are packed
in foam and shrinked.

I am adding some detail on the nose and other
parts of the ship...Ping pong ball
serves as radar dome.Windows took about an
hour to get perfect.
