Richard, If you go to www.virtualave.com , they will give you a freewebsite. The only catch is that you have to put their banner on your pages.You can sell on there and there is plenty of web space. Also, the name wouldbe for example, www.aircamper.virtualave.com. With Chris Bobka's web siteand virtualave, you could put links between the two and probably have morethan enough space to put on all the good stuff you have. We all miss it.CarlPlease visit my website atwww.megsinet.net/skycarl-----Original Message-----

It does not seem to matter in actual operation of the aircraft. This is probably just on oversight in the drawing. However, I was too curious to not have an answer, so here is my opinion for the improved air camper plans only.These plans were drawn from a completed aircraft by Orrin hoopman. The aircraft is 12937 which is in the museum at Oshkosh. It is the first improved aircamper. While visiting last year I looked at that very feature and I found that the curve at the top of the vertical on that airplane consumes 1/2 inch of the total height of the main beam in the vertical. In other words the extension line on the drawing should be (or perhaps is) drawn to the top of the curve. This would take a corresponding amount from the rudder total height. Hope this is clear. I know this is somewhat of a stretch, but I was satisfied for myself.The more I operate my first airplane (an 'A' powered aircamper), build on others, and examine the plans, the more amazed I become at how great this little airplane is for the mission it was intended.

Gang, I got all my rudder wood cut last night... then for grins, I put my vertical stabilizer up to it... I was surprised to find a good bitof difference (I guess about 1/2" to 5/8") in them at the top! I then went to the plans, and did the math, the rudder is 43 1/2", andthe measurement for the v-stab is 31". I added up the height measurements forthe tail post - 10 7/8", the horizontal stab - 1" and the 31" for thevstab and came up with 42 7/8". That would seem to explain why my vstab is shorter, but am I missing something? Is the vstab shorter to account forlayers of fabric that will be beneath it? Or is this one of those areas where you just sort of wing it and make it work? I can do that, but I wasjust wondering if I had somehow overlooked something........GaryI got the same problem and the same question but I could not find anyanswers in the archives.
