Rob,

I am working on my flaps right now....but I already had the bird flipped
over and did all the fill work with it inverted without the tail being
built.  Since I haven't built the tail section yet...I can't speak from
experience, but I think that the plane would be a lot harder to handle
without the tail.  And it seems to me that there is very little fill work on
the bottom of the tail section.  So, I recommend that you flip the bird
before you build the tail section.  When flipping the plane without the tail
section built, it only requires one person to 'man' the tail section to
accomplish the flip.  IMHO
