  • Vertical tail fin

    So what happens if it works loose and drops off cos it nearly got to that with my Rappy 30. I thought the heat was making the fin shimmer but it was loose.
    Helicopter pilots get it up quicker.

    When the blue light is flashing I am kidding.

    Why simplify when it is so much simpler to complicate.

    Ouch. Lucky save. Would not want that to hit the tail blades. Would be a interesting landing making sure the blades don't hit the deck.

      I had visions of the assembly splitting in half off the boom. Impossible I know but...........

        No difference in flight.flew my 700 without for a while,kinda like the look without it but the main reason for it is to protect tail blades from groundstrikes

          Vertical tail fin

          I fly my protos without a tail fin. No difference to normal just watch the blades on landing.

            No diff, My tail fins are just silhouettes anyway and i dont use horizontal stabs. Makes the heli more agile
            Some say my left nipple is the shape of a Raptor canopy.......... And that for fun I chase sheep in wellies 3 sizes too big. All I know is I am ​3D Clod
