RE: Building a Top Flite GE 1/8 scale F4U Corsair
Since we're in the process of building, is anyone doing any mods with respect to strengthening the fin and rudder in the event of a rollover? I went ahead and imbedded two 1/16" carbon fiber rods up each side of the vertical stabilizer immediately ahead of the hinge locations, two rods up the rudder immediately aft of the hinges, thin twin plywood strips outlining the top curve of the rudder and three of the 3/16" robart hinge points on the rudder. Overkill? My experience is limited here.
I know this is the last place one wants to start adding weight but I tried to keep it minimal.
