<DIV>The stab half weights are about 1 oz too heavy each, but not terrible for
mass production. I prefer lighter so I built a new set for mine. Same goes for
the rudder. Much too much plywood in that rudder.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Adjustable stabs in this type (TAVS) fuse, should include fuse
stiffeners/reinforcers in the stab area. If the adjusto-stab gets to
oscillating, it won't take much to break the fuse in this area. I have
seen that happen to the Impact (but not the tempatation). Good
luck</DIV>
