Max and I were talking about the tail diameter for the boom and both thought
that larger is better on these new planes. I have difficulty making use of
the boom at that small a size to attach the horizontal stabilizer posts to.
I would like to see a boom with a small end diameter of .100" or even .110"
Any other thoughts?
