Here are pictures of the stock Antic and Jenny style tails which I fabricated from cardboard to get a visual on how things look. I'm going to think about things a little more before I finalize the tail, but my initial reaction is to make the following changes to the Jenny style tail: 1. reduce chord of elevator halves by 1 inche to get closer to the stock area, and 2. decrease the pointeness of the top of the rudder slightly and beef up the bottom slightly (I think my design is more pointed than it should be). I bought a bunch of stringers so once I get closer on the tail design I'll be able to start building the turtle deck and tail surfaces.
