The tail of two, not three

Ok so moving on and sparing you the whole flap manufacturing process, I will move ahead to the making of the ruddervator. As this is essentially a V tail rudder assembly you will notice as we go alone that it is not a conventional tail assembly. The picture represents some of the parts I fabricated needed for this assembly. They are made from stock T6061 channel and I cut then on a band saw

Hi Pete,
Have fun on this project! Take a look at my Stabilator portion of my Waiex build here: http://websites.expercraft.com/ldmill/index.php?q=log_entry&log_id=15609

I had to make some of the Stabilator parts over...

Cheers!
