Yeah, it's given me a reason to rethink my future plans for the tail. I was thinking of making a mold and going fiberglass for a re-shell. I'm leaning toward going basjoos' route and going aluminum skin over steel frame. I'm thinking I can still build a complete tail before removing this version, just might take a bit longer.
