considering lengthening the horizontal stab, What I am curious about is
if people have taken their existing stab and added on or started a new
one from scratch. I have also read about using an actual airfoil for
this task.
I have a few stabs and elevators ( I seem to have gathered a lot of
parts in the last few months) and one has flat surfaces on the outboard
ends. Can I just make a pair of ribs and extend outwards by gluing the
the new ribs and extension on to the existing one? I guess then it would
be wise to glass a few inches overlap onto the original stab.
I am planning to leave the elevator the original length and just extend
the stabilizer.. <
See Troy Petteway's project at http://www.n56ml.com/troy/ where he did
exactly that, and called the result "much improved". I would think
there have been others as well. I would try to carry the exterior
reinforcement all the way through the center part of the spar also, if
possible.
