I would pay a little extra attention to fin fastening, and the rudders do not need to be as large (in chord and length) as they are drawn here. This can be a source of flutter in the wrong place, wrong time, etc. been there...

Anytime!
Also feel free to send pics or questions about the building, setup and flying characteristics of this bird.
Still have two modified versions of the HS and like them very much.

Hello Robson, seen the plane in the picture fly and there wasnt any stability problems. This modification makes the plane look a lot different, but it also doesnt give any better flight characteritic.. The biggest issue in doing this is as the surface area must be bigger than a single standard hotspot fin, the construction should be very rigid and also the anchor point in the fuselage should be reinforced, As the standard twin fins of the HS are not prone to fluttering and are very practical I didnt seen this mod many times since.
Cant believe that I took this picture almost 10 years ago!
