I also CA'ed some x-braces into the rear of the fuse to help stop the twisting back there. They are just cut-up bamboo skewers with CA drizzled on them to hold them in. Real quick to do. You can also see that my rudder control rod came out in the wrong place and is pulled in to the control horn. After the first few flights, I re-drilled holes in the control horn closer to the control surface to get more throw and that really messed up the alignment of the control rod. The outer shells of the control rods are glued to the side of fuse with E6000/Goop.
