After all the help I received after my T-Can Virgin post I'd like your advise/feed back on the latest Thick Rudder trend.
What do you guys report?

Are they parallel? (TE same as LE).
Do they flair out? (TE thicker the LE).
General feed back (worth it or not).

I noticed that I could build the T-Can@42cm span for a finished weight of 16g!!!!!
That's about 40g lighter than many FG/composite versions.

I can do wonders with somethin' as larger as a rudder so I'll definately scrap the sheeted foam version and build my own.
And why not make it a thicky?

David,

What airplane are you putting this on?

David Bathe

It's a modified BM Models Impulse. It's been sitting Non Completto in the hanger for years.
Here's a link to a thread I started when I first recieved it: http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_2961601/tm.htm

Mods include: T-can. See here: http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_10494780/tm.htm
New canopy and position (cosmetic, I didn't like the fab version, different shape and positioned further forward to match wing)
Repositioned wing: (Further forward, my own preference)
Thicker Rudder: (Im going to make my own anyway, I can build it far lighter than the foam/balsa version)

Just need some gen on the thick rudder trend.
