Default New Tail Feathers :-(

Several weeks ago I called Airborne Models, the importer, about the new tail feathers and to see if I could get a set. The reply they gave me was that their is no new tail feathers and the plans to produce them have been cancelled. That is all he said, no reason why.
Soooo .......
I am making my own modifications to the rudder by adding 2" to the bottom and 1 1/4" to the top with counterbalance. Also adding 2 1/2 " to the trailing edge starting at the bottom and tapering to 0" at the top of the rudder. To add to the bottom of the rudder I had to also extend the rear part of the fuselage down 2", I did it just like the u-can-do fuselage.
The elevators have been opened up from a max of 90 degree rudder throw to 100 degree's and 2" added to the outside edges complete with counter balance. All work should be done in a week or two and I will let you know if knife edge has improved without a lot of coupling and hovering authority is improved.
