My horizontal stab was done without foam extensions, all done with new spars. I ordered new wood that was thicker to give them the cross section needed for the new airfoil, as well as the length. It could have easily be done with foam extensions (especially if the plane had been built already), but building it all wood yielded a simple, straight, quickly built stabilizer. There are no "horns" on the elevator. What you see in http://www.n56ml.com/kmlht5.jpg is pretty much the assembly of the two, without the tips added. I think the photos and narrative at http://www.n56ml.com/kht.html should tell the story of how it was built and the dimensions of it, and there's a template download link that shows spar dimensions. Their length is 84" total. My tips were made out of wood, just because it was easier to shape accurately and quickly, as opposed to foam, but if I were to do it today, I'd make them foam and glass. I guess eventually I may extend the h/s on N891JF, but maybe not. I'd like to get proficient at flying a "normal" KR2 so I can converse intelligently on the differences in the S and the 2.
