Hi, I have just aquired a used T-33 with the removable tail option. It is REALLY worth it as far as maintainance is concerned. It makes work on the flap servo area and the whole tail much easier. It also allows for easy removal of the outer tailpipe and inner pipe. It is made up of 4 CF rods that go into matching GFRP blocks. The rods are then secured with a 4-40 bolt that is in the sockets. Its not something that you would want to do for every day transport to the field though. (Also doesnt save that much space as the inner pipe that is attache to the bypass still is part of the front fuse.)
It would make infrequent transport much easier though. It also makes it much safer on the work bench to avoid lots of hangar rash. As far as apparance goes on mine you can barely tell the difference between the seperation and any of the panel lines. (To bad I didn't build it. Scott
