Status: offline 		Ray - I have a Skyglas Vertigo. I am going to include a picture of it here. The picture I am showing, is for sale, $100.00 on RCU.
Location is about 150 miles from me, could be a good buy. I would have to add in about $80.00 for gas to travel. Looks like someone chopped the nose up, unless there is a cowl piece separated. The Vertigo I have, has a diamond airfoil stab, the one pictured does not, unless modified.

Thanks for the reply,

Crank

Yea, Yea, OK. "non-moving (stationary) vertical stabilizer," how's that? :-)

Status: offline 		Thanks for getting me the name of this bird. Talk about the tail section. What about "Enpennage" ? Spelled right? I usually say fin and rudder.

If you really want to get into "fins", fly on AirBus. They super glue the fin's on their planes. FLY BOEING.

I was in NYC the day that 300 went down and was watching the news from a customer in Brooklyn when they showed the first pictures. The plane was destroyed and there was a nice shiney fin being pulled out of the bay in 1 piece. I don't think Airbus used enough "Kicker".

When I was a kid I had a Midwest Cardinal Squire with Fox 78 and had cracked the fin in a bad landing into the weeds. I mixed up some "Five Minute Epoxy" and glued it back on. About 6 minutes later I was running up the engine and my flying buddy Sandy asked " are you sure that glue is dry"? Of course was my answer, "it's five minute epoxy and it's now 8 minutes". Off we went and at the top of a big loop I found out Sandy had a good point. Somewhere I still have that shiney fin and the rest of the plane was destroyed.

If it's not Boeing I'm not going.


Peace

Mark O

Actually no - it's empennage. I think I upset WEDJ so I better not do any more fussin' and certainly won't get involved in the Airbus/Boeing thing - although I did read an interesting article about the US Air Force tanker contract.........!!!!!

Status: offline 		Hey Marko - I got a good laugh about the 8 minute epoxy. Airbus, tanker contract. Gates did the right thing, fired the top brass.

Those (our) politician's, all of them, some of them retire, then go to work for a foreign government, lining their pockets more. All these deals are done after the grandstanding in the day hours. The Air Force general's giving our money to AirBus, those guys over there don't even like us. They were probably still laughing over Boeing getting shot down. Our politician's have given everything away. The Chinese already have all the plans for the Virginia class submarines, our missle guidance systems, etc. They probably buy it all at Wal-Mart. We have been sold out. <
