Default RE: BUSA Fokker DVII

Thanks MikeH. I did notice that a few others complained about the stab incidence being off and more positive being needed. As such, I heeded the advice by making the horizontal stab and vertical fin/rudder removable. If I need to, I'll be able to shim the stab accordingly.

Did you have to use a longer prop hub to clear the radiator? In order to keep the flywheel on the US41 from hitting the bottom ABS plastic cowl cover, I had to set the engine back. The factory 1.25" hub is too short, I'll have to go with a 2" one.

I was disappointed that BUSA didn't include a reasonable looking tail skid although it wouldn't be hard to make. I guess they used a wire one in order to keep the tail weight down.
