Purchased over 2 years ago, my F1 project collected dust while I finished an RV8, completed an RV4 project, and built an RV10....it's now on the front burner .
Here's a few pics of my nearly complete empennage. Take note of:
-my kids do most of the work
-12 extra stiffeners in the horizontal stab (T. Martin mod...thanks Tom), no chance of oil canning here
-scratch built one piece (yes...ONE piece ALL the way around) emp fairing (in progress)
-no rivets on the rudder exit fairings (removable)
-a great way to rivet the HS forward spar using your left over RV10 bucking bar
-a few pics of how to 'box in' the emp tips and channels so they will NOT crack or chip down the road
Here's a link to the pics:
