All looks now that

looks great, but isn't the tail a bit small?

Indeed, the tail plane and vertical fin look really small. Normally the surfaces are 10-20% enlarged wrt the original model to increase flying characteristics.

Another question: are you sure the lower wing is strong enough? It only has a balsa upper and lower spar as far as I can see. During touchdown the impact on the wing can be very high.
Just my ideas...

The real plane has a smol tail too.
I hope, that the lower wing will be strong enought...

The "AMSOIL" Racer is in facts an enlarged "Quickie" ... and most "Quickie" models fly excelent with a scale-size rudder (you can still fly them, even when the tail is missing ;-))
