Ok, thanks to all who gave me some suggestions for a replacement material to the mylar. I wound up picking up a "For Sale" sign - worked wonders. The "No Trespassing" sign wasn't quite long enough - this is a very large/tall fin for a very large TD ship. This is the biggest rudder I've ever built - finished out at 10 grams. Ummm, next time I think I'll paint it. That pink foam makes for quite the look on the back of my new TD world beater - kinda gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that. ;-)
I just weighed all the components. I'm expecting 62-63 ounces (pre-meathooks)- for a 130" TD toy, with an extended tube 40" into each wing, and a 5/8" joiner. Not too bad. Hope to fly it tomorrow - frantically building - On a Friday night? What happened to my life? ;-) Daryl RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
