This is a pic of a Gremlin that I modified by adding a tail with working elevator. It flew great and seemed more stable than the standard Gremlin while dogfighting. It also didnt add any more noticeable weight. Its powered by a Magnum XL .28. The tail section is made of 4mm coroplast with balsa tri stock. I also fly a Gremlin that I modified by adding the verticle fins to the wingtips. This design also flew well but the tail version is my favorite by far. A few of our other Gremlin fliers have show interest.

That looks good, I like to fly Gremlins and will have to give that mod a try. Wouldn't require a computer radio either.
Do you still balance it at the same CG location?

Nope it dont require a computer radio or a slide like the standard Gremlin. I'll include a pic of the way mine is setup. And I balanced mine exactly as I would balance a regular Gremlin and mine flew great the first time.

That design has been popular in the Dallas area for the last three years. Here's one of the nicer ones. They do fly sweet!

That Texas flag plane looks alot like a design than one of our members fly thats called a Predator. The wing is more swept than the Gremlin,... but it sure looks good, and the one ive seen flies great. I actually trimmed the fin by 1 1/2 in to decrease drag somewhat. But the turn radius is suppurb now, which in combat is what ya really need.

FUZZ,
Are the tail feathers made from coroplast or balsa?

Painless,

They are made of coroplast.
