There are two holes on the Navy! If you look the tube is screwed into both the fuselage and the fin…tbh I’m not sure what the final plan is, my Black Art Scholl
kit has the screw in the fuselage, there is a block in the fin so I could drill and have the same, but all my Beams will have the fin left on, so only removed for access to the servo.

flew my beam today. Felt very good. Definitely feels a lot faster than my evo. Time to do some adjustments and get back to it.

Congrats! Seemed very stable at all speeds. Which stabilization unit did you use?

actually surprisingly no gyro was used. Very solid and smooth flying plane even with a slight xwind

Same with the UF, it is a very stable design, I’m running minimal gain on my Beam.

I had an evo before this. Also had no gyro in that one and it just seems to me that the beam is more stable.
