So the website says that covering the tailboom part of the fuselage would impart undue stress on the airframe that it's not built to handle.
Well I'm not sure how well I like that. I'm sure you could do some simple cable based reinforcments. I'd like to make an enclosure out of some aluminum tubing and clear vynil for a bushplane look.
So saying that I reinforce where needed, and cover the tailboom, do you think the flight characteristics would be altered? I think if at all, it would be minor, and I'm finding it hard to believe it would hinder anything.
Any input? What are your thoughts?
