Would anyone know the length from the back of the rudder to the end of the boom and the distance from the front of the elevator to the trailing edge of the wing at the wing root? Thanks Frank

I'd go upstairs and measure it for you right now if only I were clear on the first request. Back of the rudder to...where? The front end of the boom? Or are you looking for the rudder chord?

Will check for you after I see your answer in the morning, unless someone beats me to it.

The length of the boom please.

Got it. Just woke, will get the length for you after some coffee ;-)

Sorry for the delay...

Your questions, as asked, leave some room for interpretation. But I will try.

-Approx 17" from the aft edge of the wing to leading edge of the stab, but the term "wing root" does not apply. The aft edge of the wing and the wing root do not intersect.

-Approx 42" from leading edge of the boom to forward leading edge of the bottom of the rudder

-Approx 48" from leading edge of the boom to forward trailing edge of the bottom of the rudder

-Approx 55" from leading edge of the boom to forward trailing edge of the top of the rudder

Note that the leading and trailing edges of the rudder are swept aft. Hence the differing values above.

Hope this helps

Thanks Highhorse, they at the measurements I a looking for. I have storm jet that someone added booms to it and I'm trying to figure what booms they are. I think I have either tango or angle booms..Thanks for your help. Frank

Hey Funflyerf4, that 16 in the back ground looks just like mine. Mine is a rocket with Wren K-100. What do you have in yours?

They look like bobcat booms.

Not sure what they are. I looked at your picture in your other thread and they definitely aren't bobcat or kingcat booms. Don't look like tango booms and they are definitely not angel or Phoenix booms on yours. Can you take a better picture from the side?

Jeremy,
i would have to agree with you. I blew up the picture and took a look at the booms and they are different from bobcat booms. They look a little fatter then bobcat booms......excuse my incorrect assumption in the previous post.

Here is a picture he posted in another thread, the rudders don't go to the bottom of the booms like the BVM stuff or the AD stuff. They kind of look Tangoish but the tops of the fins look off and the leading edge looks sloped back to far. The tango was pretty small too. I'm stumped.
