| Been there. Great place to experience these magnificent but truly scary (I would not have flown one back then) flying machines. Though most of the aircraft are reproductions from photos and plans from actual aircraft captured and recovered during WWI, if this is your cup of tea... bring a digitsl camera because your jaw will drop. When I visited in springtime back in the late 70's the weather wasn't too good so they didn't have any exhibitions or flights. But again they were truly works of art just sitting there. Got to see if I can find those old photos. |

Per plan, orange is extra. |

| Yes, because this is the most difficult piece to cover if you build per plans. This way it can all be shaped/sanded with a sanding block and fine tuned with some sandpaper in your finger. This is an issue with almost every fin/rudder on the bigger Guillow kits and getting this part right makes a lot of difference so I almost always make some major mods. It's not that hard and it's much easier to cover. Wet silkspan just naturally adheres to an "S" curve if you cut some tension breaks in it. Pics will follow, ;-) |

| Are you sheeting part of the tail vs stringers & tissue? |
| David Duckett, Image # 2688 | 09 Apr 07 23:13 |
Painted red so I don't sand away too much. This is 1/8" added to each side of the basic fin construction. |
| David Duckett, Image # 2687 | 09 Apr 07 23:08 |
Unsanded per plans, red ones are my additions. |

Casting materials, great catalog! |

Plastic pieces glued on first, stringers will be made flush with these. Also, about 1/4" removed from back of top piece. |
