Wow thats a big vertical stabilizer. I hope its glued on better than

On previous models, the stabilizer was much weaker than the rest of
the aircraft. Now the entire aircraft has been weakened so that it
all fails as a single unit in a coherent way. If anything, the
under-strength wings will go first.


wow, is there anything invovling aviation that you aren't ill informed
