It’s been a while since I’ve built an Aquila Tail Set, however after being asked recently If I had a set I thought I would put one together.<\/p>\n

I spent about an hour getting the plans in place and cutting the material.<\/p>\n

3\/16 x 1\/4 sticks<\/p>\n

3\/16 x 1 for the shaped extremities<\/p>\n

3\/32 x 3\/16 for the ribs<\/p>\n

1\/8 sheet tapered from 3\/4 to 1\/4 for the spars<\/p>\n

1\/8 sheet for some filler pieces<\/p>\n

1\/8 OD x 1 3\/8 brass tubing for the pivot\/ control rod<\/p>\n

\"P1180258-001\"

Gathering up the pieces, Note the end view of stab detail on the drawing, that means there’s an up and down to these. Who would have thought that. I know If I flip the stab set on a Graupner Cirrus, It flies different.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"P1180259-001\"

I file the groves to suite the 1\/8 tubing the tubing sets in flush with the top surface, and 1 3\/16 inch apart<\/p><\/div>\n

\"P1180260-001\"

I selected some TE stock that is a little heavier as I have seen some TE’s bend when the covering gets tightened<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"P1180261-001\"

All the pieces, time to get gluing<\/p><\/div>\n

place the curved tip and keel then the 3\/16 x 1\/4 frame. Then add the 3\/32 x 3\/16 ribs<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"P1180267-001\"

add a spar and filler on one side<\/p><\/div>\n

Back to the stab set<\/p>\n

\"P1180268-001\"

a final check to see if the two tubes are flush<\/p><\/div>\n

\"P1180269-001\"

Laying out the frame as well as the four tube carriers<\/p><\/div>\n

\"P1180271-001\"

After carefully checking that the tubes are in the correct place the frame gets glued together<\/p><\/div>\n

\"P1180272-001\"

Then the ribs get trimmed at the ends and glued into place<\/p><\/div>\n

\"P1180273-001\"

:):)<\/p><\/div>\n

Spars added topside and tubing epoxied in place<\/p><\/div>\n

\"P1180275-001\"

1\/8 root filler sheet in place top side<\/p><\/div>\n
