Opening the moulds saw immediately that the surface finish was amazing, extremely smooth and no blemishes, the carbon leading edge looks great and certainly adds strength, too much so we will be leaving this out in future to get the weight down further. With the main spar being moved forward to allow for the space for the servo, this makes the tailplane very stiff as the load is spread over the 3 spars more equally, this is a great by product.
The weight is slightly heavier than we intended, but we can save even more next time :-).
Another one is being prepped to start over the weekend......
