I have flown my newly built KF II about 30 hours and decided to use the

winter months to increase the tail area and eliminate the constant rudder

attention it requires.  My plan is weld a new 4130 vert. stab leading edge

on to make it ten inches higher and 3 inches additional chord, then extend

the rudder 10 inches.  Also to weld a curved half inch tube from the upper

fuse stringer tube  to the leading edge tube for rigidity.  Can anyone

provide advice or drawings of such a mod?  I know from photos that some mod

I and II tails have been increased but don't have any specifics.



Also, what would be the optimum thickness for the stab to give maximum bite

on the air?  I am thinking about 2 1/2 inches tapered down to leading edge

and also on leading edge of rudder with a fairing over the hinge to make

smooth transition.



All suggestions appreciated from "tinkeritis" guys.  Merry Christmas
