The tail now has a ply insert which I'll drill and use for hanging the plane up from a hook. Might also come in handy as a tail wheel mount if I go undercarriage later. There's an extra carbon ribbon cut into the vertical stab for strength.
The servos have some slack cable to make them easier to replace from the outside later. The top of the carbon boom tube has a slot cut in it to allow the servo cables to exit. The spare cable is for powering LEDs in the tail.
The two halves are glued together with 1 hour epoxy and masking tape holds it all together. So far the tail looks straight in line although I perhaps wish I'd routed the LED cable in the tail a bit differently - maybe to a socket to make the horiz stab removable.
The KK2 board is easy to reach through the side door. It's been cable tied to a foam square which was gorilla glued to the fuselage wall. So it's removable but still pretty firmly held.
