I don't know if there is a way to test what I have done. I followed a link from 
this list (http://www.xs4all.nl/~hermhart/phamj/) and there was a picture where 
he had the tail section on a workbench with the caption "tail section measured 
and balanced" Since I consider myself the least capable person to build an 
airplane I always wonder how do I know for sure that things are right without 
finding out 100' above the ground. I had my friend come over and check what I 
was doing and we went over a lot of stuff to eliminate any twist as I begin to 
lay down the panels on the Horizontal. After about an hour he says, "If after 
laying the panels we can still twist it then all this was for no reason other 
than to get practice getting things straight" I am glad I have some one to 
somewhat sign off on my work and I do feel like I am getting better but I am 
still afraid of what I don't know.

On another note: Why hasn't an open source or Wiki design been done. The wisdom 
of many could result in a royalty free best of class. We sort of have that with 
all of the fabulous help that Mark and others have documented. I was just 
wondering. 


>What do you mean by " balance or stress test ".  I think what you should do,
