Fit and Function
After a wonderful Christmas holiday with my famiy, I managed to squeeze in a full day on the RV project. I pulled out the propane heater and turned on the Bowl games on the television in the garage. I assembled all the completed components together, and began the “fit and function” portion of the instructions. After three bowl games, and about eight hours, I had basically completed the assembly of the kit. See photos below.
The first photo shows the vertical stabilizer, complete with rudder, attached to tailcone. (See new shop stool … Christmas gift from my kids.)

The second photo shows the horizontal stabilator attached to the bulkhead. It includes the Anti-Server Trim pieces, as well as the counter balancle.

The final photo shows the completed assembly; tailcone and all! All the componets fit like a glove. I’m very happy with the Van’s kit!
