hawhi :
Hey I started using the plans also and I ended up taking off some inches because it was to big. Wing ended up big 6' 2" that was as wide as my tires. the V-stab I shorten it by 7" but I am happen with the look now.

But the ones in the plans were small I like the taller feathers

What is the total head travel for starbee rotor head? ask Dana at starbee. dana@starbeegyros.com

Will this affect the way the A/C takes off or flies? I saw one with the offset or sitting crooked on the tail.
