Default Seamaster ARF

To Everyone who owns or has plans to own an Ace Seamaster ARF I have a suggestion to improve the strength of the horizontal stabilizer, which, in my opinion could use some reinforcement. Run carbon fiber rods from where the vertical stabilizer glues to the top of the fuselage to the outermost area of the horizontal stabilizer. I got this idea from the Funtana that I just put together. The flimsiness of the tail section of the Seamaster has always concerned and bugged me and this is a great way to strenghthen it without adding much weight. Here is the website you can get the carbon fiber rods. I chose to use the 1/8 diameter. http://www.nyblimp.com/superior/carbon-rods.htm. Take care everyone.
