Hi All,Just wanting to know what you guys have done at the tail end with the externalstringers for the fabric stand off. I was trying to avoid adding the 1/4"x1/2"stringer to both sides of the vertical section of the tail to prevent havinga "fat" tail post leading into a "skinny" rudder but having pondered about itfor a day, seem to think it's the easiest option.Any advise/criticism welcome.Mike GreenRomsey,Victoria,AUSTRALIA.________________________________________________________________________________

I used West System epoxy on all surfaces that come into contact with the fabric.It doesnt have any odor, which is great for working in the house.Dick N. ----- Original Message -----

MikeMy side stringers taper down and end forward of the start of the horiz stabilizer.That makes for a flat appearance at the tail.Dick N. ----- Original Message -----

Thanks for the advise guys. Arthur Johnson here in Australia sent me some pix of his which cleared it allup for me. Looks like I was trying to over complicate things, again!!!Mike GreenRomsey,Victoria,AUSTRALIA ----- Original Message -----
