Gyrobee tails
 
A few weeks ago, I asked a question about a tail kit for gyrobees. Ron Awad Suggested a tall dominator tail for my bee project. 'Couldnt find Ron's e-mail, but If you get this......or If anyone else has a suggestion......What type of tail boom mods (if any) would be needed with a tall tail setup. I understand dominators have a drop keel design. So would the tail boom on the bee have to be modified, or would the top of the vertical need to be shortened. Any input on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Gyrobee mods
 
Thanks for the pics of that Honeybee tall tail - It looked outstanding. I really would like to get some dimentional specs on mods for Gyrobees for Dominator tail, (ie) 1. Length from mast to vert.(or rudder), 2. Highth of vertical - as I understand RFD makes two sizes, 3. How is the rudder attached to the tail boom and 4. parts necissary to secure rudder top end to the mast and 5. Angle of incidence (if any) on the horizontal stab.
Any help in this would be greatly appreciated, thanks -
Chris.
