We used the two 8-foot workbenches we built at the start of our GlaStar project on which to accurately level the horizontal stabilizer. Note one of our bags of sand which we used to hold the skins to the ribs and in alignment. We checked the alignment with a wonderful digital SMARTTOOL level. This GlaStar tail kit Brutus purchased in 1996 from Stoddard-Hamilton but never constructed. The previous May 2004 when we called our salesman, at Glasair Aviation, Harry Delong, he suggested we should wait until the end of July since there was an important announcement planned for Oshkosh. We waited, and were stunned with the debut of the Sportsman 2+2 and the wonderful news that the GlaStar tail would fit the longer, taller, improved in 100 ways, Sportsman. Some of the improvements were: it had a stronger wing due to full ribs the full span of the wings, a 1" taller cabin, a differently designed and stronger nose gear, vastly modified, more effective Flowler flap system with much-reduced force required to pul up the Johnson bar to lower the flaps, a particularly welcome feature for Dee.
