Default RE: Twin Otter Stab Mod


ORIGINAL: MinnFlyer

I'm not exactly sure what you're thinking of doing. If the stab is very thin, you won't have room for a 1/4'' tube.

I would remove the LE, drill a horizontal hole throught the vertical fin and replace the LE with a CF tube the same diameter as the thickness of the stab (If the stab is 1/4'' thick, use a 1/4'' tube) then use filler to get the shape back and re-cover with black (The black may have to extend slightly further aft than it does now to hide the work)
That is a better idea than what I had. I was just going to place the tube along the bottom on the horizontal stab just behind the leading edge and epoxy it in place.
thanks for the GREAT idea....
