Radpoe Spitfire Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Hi, I'm uncertain, I seem to remember many moons ago, I'd seen a topic which deals with the correction of the tailplane for the CA's Dornier 17z. Could anyone help me out or advise me how it can be done? Kind regards, Adrian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tail-Dragon Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 (edited) When I built the Classics Airframes DO-17Z, I did the tail the hard way. The Do-17 had a trimable horizontal stab, which was completely absent. The stab was assembled, then cut off, along with the narrowing the mating surface on the fuselage. Brass wire provides the pivot point, and the center section hollowed out and attached. The elevators and balance tabs were cut of and repositioned, actuators made made for the tabs, and a subtle fabric effect scraped into the elevators, new lower covers fabricated from sheet plastic and milput, and everything positioned as seen in photo's.
