Thanks for posting those pictures of the extended rudders and elevators. I've got one of these planes on my building board right now. I just covered the wings and I plan on extending and covering the tail section this weekend. I don't want to add too much weight (I'm going electric with an AXI 4120) and wonder how much is extension is enough for good 3d flight. Until I saw these pictures, I was going to simply CA on a solid 1" strip to the rudder.

h@h - your rudder extension looks kind of weak (no insult intended)... Has it seen airtime yet? Does that extension hold up to the pressure of tight turns or does it flex? I'm asking because I would love to simply stick up an extension like you did, but I worry that it might snap off. If it has seen airtime, is the extension so extreme that you only use a small degree of rudder travel? Would you have done it shorter, longer or the same length if you could do it again?

Thanks.
