Neat sailplane and build! Thanks!

Tail end progress, today the leading edge and top of the fin bave been trimmed and sanded closer to their final shape and the tailplane is now all glued up as a frame work ready for the skin, ive put hard points into tbe mounting area, tbe front has a 20x10mm channel in tbe box and the rear mount is filled with laminted spruce as its a bit thinner.
Before i stopped for the afternoon i started setting up the .8 ply skins for the stab because tbe tail is longer tban tbe 4' sheets I trimmed tbe sheet to fit tbe second to last rib each side making the joins in tbe ply out near the end in the lower load area and also making the joins the same on each side and by cutting tbe cut off piece in half i can do the complete top side with minimal waste

Rudder is now has skin on one side, in the morning before work kIm hoping to get the other side stuck on and pressing until I get back from work late tomorrow night, small steps

Update time, So now I have made a pair of bridal position tow releases for either side of the cockpit, I have the rudder internals built and the fin is skinned in .8mm ply, the wing cores are now cut also so now I can arrange my wing attachments before ply covering the fuselage
