Hi The reinforcement of the tail boom is related to the design gross weight
of the plane, witch modes do you have and I can tell you what
reinforcement is in your tail boom.
Happy Flying
Mark

What's with the tailboom question? I thought our planes, (and the copy cats), were just quite fine. Now if I were doing hard aerobatics I might want to look closer, but we're good just the way it is.

If you get a chance take a look at Earthstars demo DVD you will then know what the planes are capable of. At first look I thought the boom tube didn't look strong enough. But looking and knowing are two different things.(and I am no engineer)

Hi Riley
Yes Mark can get you one. There is tons of footage of all Earthstar Aircraft in action. Mark doesn't encourage airobatics but in the DVD he performs a whole bunch of full rolls and a loop the loop in our favourite model, the JT2.If you ever wanted reasurance on the strength of the airframe you will want to see this video. It is what sealed the deal for me when considering my first plane. It also shows a step by step build of the J model.

I wish he had told me that when I was trying to get a build manual for mine. That would have fixed me up. I asked him a few times over several months, but never got anything.
