“I notice some folks have a extension on the bottom tail to prevent the rudder from getting banged/bashed on low tail landings.”

 

I’ve got one.

 

It’s been scraped – dunno if I did it or the builder – can’t remember if it (the scrape) was there when I bought the aeroplane. It also provided a fixed location for the tail nav/strobe light, as opposed to the rudder.

 

I think the chances of a tail strike are low without it, however.

 

For what it’s worth.

 

Cheers

 

Dom
