What about just moving the tail back away from the boat? Leave the original boat and add 12"? may look a bit unusual but that's never stopped any of this crowd! whats the max tail weight at max Gs? Bill White KR2 Alexandria, VA
Bill, I've read your question before. And I know you've already been advised that you are just better off starting over. I understand how you feel. As I inherited my boat already completed but I wanted to instill all the cool upgrades. Thought about it hard, and tried to save and stretch it. It doesn't work. There's too much wood work that has to be precise to extend. An incorrect angles at the cut will exagerate at the tail. And quite frankly, glue makes the joint rigid at that point. The airframe is strong because it is allowed to bend a little. So.....I just started over too. Use the old boat as a good guide to help you build and incorporate all the things you want. Building will be faster than normal. Because you've got an example to look at. Just some advice from a flyer who "was" hoping to save myself some build time (at that time). But am very glad I did start over. I think you will be too. More questions ?? Peter Sanchez KR2S Apache Junction AZ _aeroeng39@aol.com_ (mailto:aeroen...@aol.com)
