Big Bobber by PlanePrint - Lightened Tail - Non-tubular

prusaprinters

After 3d-printing several of the Big Bobbers by PlanePrint, we struggled with always getting the horizontal and vertical stabs straight with the plane of flight.  I realized the need for a solid tail, which we initially made (Thingiverse).  After printing it, I had a major flaw, and made a new version of it, and updated the files.  After printing that, and being unable to get the weight where we wanted it, we chopped out as much of the sides and bottom as possible, giving this version.  This is not printed yet, and may not be perfect, but it does line up perfectly with the factory rudder and vertical stab.  The horizontal stab mount “bumps” need to be sanded off of the original part, top and bottom, making it flat, but after that, it slides right in.  Try it and let us know if you see some positive changes that need to be made!
