A question to the ether that, perhaps the manufacturers will see and

at the aft side of the tail boom above the tail wheel?


Yeah I've always wondered about that. Any added mass at the top of the tail only increases the chance of damage in case of a groundloop.


So does cutting a hole in the location given

It could be strengthened around the edges of the hole, of course, and that extra structure can go towards the extra weight needed
