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


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.

Any references? Really, you think they weakened the whole thing, that makes
way more sense than putting additional spars in the VS. Or maybe, just
maybe, they strengthened the vertical stabilizer in an effort to not repeat
the past. But hey you're a idiot so who knows how you think.
