Here's a video of my and Tim Chang's F1D. It's a 5-minute video, so enjoy it over a coffee break.
Take note of the aerodynamic lessons in the background from Professor Leo.
The fin on my F1D is a EZB wing tip. It was the only part leftover from a EZB wing that my cat, Brandon, got a hold of. I used the left over wing tip in order to save time. The fin is 4.5" tall by 3.0", and and at first it looked really goofy to me. But it's grown on me since. What do you think?
The stab of the F1D is also a left-over EZB part. I have a couple of EZB wings with covering torn off. After some quick calculations, I found that the EZB wing requires a similar load as the F1D stab. I cut each of the three ribs in the middle and lengthened them by adding an extension stub. The finished stab is not nicely elliptical, but it saved me a lot of time. From start to finish, the conversion took me 35 minutes.
Enjoy.
