Don C | 18-Sep-18 21:40 | A question for somone who knows more than I do: Here are the 2 sides of the vertical stabilizers. Note that the righat side has an extra "lump" about halfway back, while the left side is streamlined. Both stabilizers are identical. Why does the right side have that extra "lump"? I thought that was wrong, but after looking at lots of pictures, that is the way it is built- left sides sreamlined and right sides with the extra "lump". |
David Duckett | 19-Sep-18 08:28 | On mine the part with the hump is the left fin and the right fin is the same with the hump inside. |
Don C | 19-Sep-18 09:14 | I thought that too and started to build them that way, but the instructions said build them the same. I looked for almost every picture I could find that showed both fins. The humps were on the right on both fins. |
rayl | 19-Sep-18 09:31 | In real life, they are fairings for the rudder actuators. The fins are interchangeable on the real thing, cutting down on inventory. |
Don C | 19-Sep-18 09:34 | Aha! Thanks Ray. See, Iowa is good for more than protecting Minnesota from Missouri. :) |
