Empennage : General Arrangement

General view of the completed tail section.

Look the extension that I make in reinforcement plate (.040") and the skin.After I´ll make a slot for spar in the uper section and with the same form that the edge of horizontal stabilizer in the botton part

This is NOT my airplane, this portion of which exists only in my mind. But we can all aspire to this level of workmanship. Not the large diameter and presumably thin walls of the pushrods. Those aluminum end fittings were lathe turned, pretty easy work if you've got one. Ken Brock Industries has something like it in their EZ parts, but I've never been able to find out what tubing they fit, or what thread size they're cut for.

Here is a good picture of Larry Flagg's 1st or 2nd Teenie Two (I can't remember which). The tail components look so good I thought it was a good picture to post. I've based my tail structure on this picture which is close to the plans.

Here is another picture from one of Larry Flagg's Teenie Twos that I took at Oshkosh Convention, probably in the early '90s. Very close to plans and looks very good.

Progress so far.

Close up view of tail area. You will note I made the stabiliser in two sections.

Tail of a Teenie for sale in E-Bay in December 2002. Note the largish rudder trim tab.
