No question full fling V tail could be done. No question that it would be a major engineering challenge to keep it light, super strong, slop free, especially a ruddervator version. There just isn't a lot of room at that end of most fuselages for the kind of hardware that would make it work. No

Personally, I dislike the Goop and Goo's. They take forever to harden and make a mess! I use hot melt glue or epoxy exclusively for all foamies. Bill Swingle [EMAIL PROTECTED] Pleasanton, CA RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" requests
