Do all the earthstar aircraft have the same exact elevator and rudder?
Looking from the side view of the elevator for example is the outer rib form the same? The same for looking down on the rudder, is the profile the same on all planes?
thanks

Re: Just curious
Not sure that is always true. I believe there
are options for larger a larger stabilator.

Re: Just curious
I forgot that the early models had an 80" stablater but all are now 88"

That was more than 15 years ago.

Re: Just curious
would you recommend the 80" for a 210#, medium build human? i can skin
meself another 15# in a couple months. most passengers would be <170#

if you are asking about a J you will want the big or 88 in stabilizer, if
you are asking about the Gull 2000 single seater you could get by with the
small one but would be happier with the big one. the odyssey should have the
bigger one. the size is related to the width of the CG envelop the larger
the stabilizer the broader the envelope with more weight than the 170# that
was the standard piolot, till about 20 years ago, the pilot is ahead of
the CG and needs the extra force that the larger stabolizer can suply to
rotate at slow airspeeds.
Happy flying
