Well I went with Mark's AS5046-75 tail airfoil. But someone said to use
some balancing tabs on that as well for more stability. I left my rudder to
the size for the AS5046-75 airfoil as well but if I can get better
performance with changing it let me know. With my KR I widened it 10" and
st
I extended the rudder 3" at the bottom and 1" at the top. -Jeff

I haven't seen any replies to this question, so I'll give my opinion and
reference the testing I've done. Please refer to http://jscott.comlu.com
and follow the link to the KR page. There's a lot more detail there.
I flew my KR with the stock 72" tail for 500 hrs. Then I cut the tail
off and
Hey netters,
I was just curious on how long people are making their elevators.
I think I made mine 84" and that's including 5" each side for the balance
tabs. Is this too excessive or about right for stability?
