i stripped the covering they way GP recommends with a hot iron. works great, doesn't cut into the wood. i did this same technique on my GP Super Skybolt as well and it's been flying over a year with an OS 91 4 stroke which vibrates the tail quite a bit...........no problems.

with the Reactor, the Stab/Elevator went through some momentary flutter that did a number on the 3114's gears, and put a crack in the stab just outside the fuse area. about 3/4" out to be exact. it's actually where the center section is notche into the trailing edge.
what it needs here is a new stab.................i may go ahead and try laminating some CF from tip to tip and see if that holds.
