Looking for the aluminuim used on tail booms
From: John Lorbiecki
Hi folks!
I need a piece of aluminum that is commonly used on tail booms. I could use a piece approximately 6" x 12". Anyone got some laying around?
Also, does anyone have a complete tail boom for a 2005 version of the Verbitsky F1C model- conventional, non geared?
