You need a vacuum pump and a variety of different fiberglass materials. There are several threads on here about making composite parts.

Status: offline 		You can also make balsa/composite seeker tails, I did a thread on that a few years ago, should be able to find it with a little searching. I'll try and post a link to it in the near future.

Status: offline 		if i was in the states then yes buying a kit would be the way to go but as im in the UK the shipping and taxes would really make it expensive. that and i like to 'experiment'

Status: offline 		My kits come with a 1/4" slat balsa tail.

You can build it conventionally, laminate it with glass and skin hinges, or use a commercially available composite V-tail.
