1) Tail fin. I'm making some modifications to my P-40 Warhawk, including
redesigning the tail fin. What is the best way to make a tail fin for such a
plane? I've tried a couple different methods, and so far its either been too
small or too big.
2) My next model is a PBY Catalina, which I'm working on at the same time.
How would one do the rear landing gear? The wheel stays vertical when the
landing gear is both retracted and extended, but it moves diagonally. (from
stowed, it moves down and out from the plane's fuselage.) Another difficulty
on this - not only does it have to move at an angle, but it also has to
support the plane's weight, which, since the PBY is a fairly good sized
plane (8 crew members) is respectable.
And another thing - am I going to have to verify that I posted EVERY
freaking post I make? Its REALLY annoying having to check my email after I
post a single message.

| (...) I think your latest version is quite good... I assume this was posted before you had that worked out? (...) With my PB4Y, I found that the landing gear wasn't strong enough to hold up the plane, so I cheated and built a display stand for it. (...) (23 years ago, 11-Nov-01, to lugnet.build)
