Tailboom support plate addaption
Nov 28, 2025
Improved tailboom support plate attachment.
Due to geometric mis allignment of the stainless steel gitter frame i milled slot holes to align the tailmboom plate.
Tailboom tube fixation.
Alu clamp fixation instead of plastic clamps, for more ridgid fixation.
Improved plate support M5 bolt ant thread instead of M4 bolt and nut.

Very nice fabrication
Thanks, less nuts and easy assembly.
Very nice! Like always!
Thanks.
Nice solution!
Looks great and well done. What did you use for adhering the cloth to the body?
Danny, do I see you machined the hex patterns into the female insert to allow for glueing fixation to the body?
Yes sir, so i have relative long inserts (20 mm), they must support the complete tail fin.
Well done! I should do that to my 429. It has a large vertical fin and could use some more support.
Thanks.
For the money you pay, this should be standard!
The panels are not Vario, it was costum made by another pilot.
I only did the modification.
