- This video shows how to assemble the horizontal and vertical stabilizer. I also discuss some rough guidelines on size selection of stabilizers and control surfaces relative to wing surface area.

Good Afternoon Sir. You have ecxellent content on your channel! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. 🍻 🍻 🍻!
Really enjoy your videos for the planes we are making for a competition. Thanks for the little tips!
@Tsavah Yes, it's all about helping the noobs. I have not tried alcohol on hot glue. Fortunately I rarely need to disassemble (gravity does that for me) but it's good to have a way if you need to.
It depends on the plane but I commonly use 6" root, 4" tip, with a 1.5" or 2" elevator or rudder for most of my planes in the 30-60" long range. 6-8" tall vertical stab and 12-16" horizontal stab is common in my designs. The shorter planes actually need relatively more tail surface for stability since the moment arm is short. Longer tailed planes can get along with relatively smaller tails even with longer wings. So the dimensions above are decent for most all-purpose tail assemblies.
@WascallyWabbitHunter Good idea with the tabs. Any chance of showing that in a video? Also, your comment was immediately flagged as spam, which it's not. Any idea why?
I thought I was the only one that remembered the "freeze to remove" hot glue trick
another great video!
Later,
Gundy
I've been watching your videos. Dude. You are smart as shit
What is the total cord length of the stabilizers ?
GRATE VIDEO'S......................I LEARNED A LOT FROM YOU....THANK YOU......JAY...NYC
Friend, I've been looking for the plan of your model FHOTON, I live in Brazil is it possible for you to send the plant for me to make a model like? if possible in PDF via email? what would be the cost ??, thank you for your attention and waiting for response.Hugs Jorge Lwiz
Good
That part with the dust off at the end was gold.
