Hi Guys first thanks for the nice welcome. Ive studied all the info i can find on Rocket tails. I have a few questions.
First why are some tails considered faster? Just due to size ?
next can anyone detail what makes the F-1 tails so much stronger? Ive heard of the extra skin stiffeners but
are the skins thicker
spars thicker or have doublers etc
I have a nice -4 empenage with .020 control surface skins. I have another complete empenage kit so i could build a new vertical and horizontal if mods are available to drastically increase strength? Thanks for any detailed info about the differences in the structure of the tails used

Thanks for all the info guys. I found this site www.docthrock.com it shoes the F-1 evo tail. It has 2 doublers on the front VS spar and a doubler on the front of the HS rear spar. it also has some angle doublers on the front HS spar. Funny it dose not have the extras "rib" skins stiffeners in it? I think i will use my -4 control surfaces as is. Thanks
