Tail fin template?
 
Does anyone have a template for a tail fin cutout for a CP or CPP?
Thanks

I dunno what you are making it out of, but you could try something like this for an idea or a pattern

Here is a tail fin that I made out of rigid plastic that fits either the CP or CPP nicely. It was bonded to the tail boom and the tail stand using epoxy.

My BCPP has the G90 HH gyro. Am I correct in thinking that a tail fin would try to fight the tail rotor because of the weather vane effect, thus reducing the life of the tail motor even more? Also, does the fact that part of the tail rotor is blanketed by the tail fin makes it less effective?

Not criticizing, just wondering...
