I'll construct the new tail much like a fabric-covered WW-1 aircraft.
*The structural framework is welded 1/2-inch EMT steel tubing.
*Bulkhead stations,formers and stringers will be hand selected cedar fence pickets.
I'm taking the time to cull through hundreds of pickets to isolate the few driest and lightest which can be found in each pallet of material at Home Depot.
It's like buying hundreds of dollars worth of Balsa wood for a few bucks.
This wood will be shaped to the exterior form of the tail and attached to the steel and doped with resin to stabilize it.
Then I've got something to skin.
It's only gonna take forever to complete.
