The horizontal stabilizer is the standard smaller one. My question, is it worth it to cut it off and replace it with the newer one? How is the handling as compared to the newer stabilizer? Has anyone done it? And how difficult of a project is it going to be? Any help Thanks, Brad bwitherell@hotmail.com [Big tail.... small tail.... lots of people happy both ways. As for how much work to replace, big job as you'll have to build the new MKII tail and then install it. Great big job if your vertical stabilizer is already attached... Mike Campbell (Dream Catcher) took a handsaw to his small tail and suggested that it was a major project to change over a finished kit. I'm sure there will be plenty of other opinions as well. } >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML website: http://www.olsusa.com/Users/Mkaye/maillist.html
