Ok guys, I just came up from working on this plane. This is what I have found. The vertical stab. is fiberglass also and it appears to be made as one with the fuselage, if that makes any difference. I sanded some of the paint off of the fuselage and it looks to me like the resin is tinted red. The inside of the fuselage is red but I thought maybe someone painted it but the fuse. is red under the paint. Could it have been gel coated red? Like I said before I don't know anything much about these type planes. My only experience with a plane like this was once a flying buddy handed me the controls of his old Dirty Birdy. The more I dabble with this plane the more it interests me.
