Sailplane Construction Project Session #14

I went to a friend's retirement party at Lockheed Martin this morning. I hardly know anyone at the plant anymore and all of the engineers looked so young to me this morning! Could it be I am old? Yes, my birthday is tomorrow, and I will be 74 (December the 5th).
 
So much for the past. In preparation for starting work on the Sailplane's stab, I had the Comet plans reproduced and I cut out the stab plan, which is shown below. I have no idea what the stab area is, but as you can see by the yard stick the span is 36-1/4" long. My first task to decide how much of the stab will be elevator and then laying out the elevator structure on the stab plan........................Tandy
