Continuing work on my Tiger Moth I’ve assembled the horizontal and vertical stabilizers.
Here’s the horizontal stabilizer after cutting the elevators free.
Again, paper hinges are used to hold the elevators to the stabilizer. These were a little awkward to install. I did a much better job with the hinges this time. I made sure the slots were deep enough to put the hinges in without bending them.
And here’s the rudder cut apart from the vertical stabilizer.

100,000 preventable deaths per year in American hospitals? Is he serious?!? That’s just insane! What about in Canada? I wonder if the numbers are similar.
