F/A-18E/F angle of the Vertical Stabilizers


Recommended Posts

Hi folks.

Just wondering if anyone knows the correct angle of the Vertical Sabilizers on the F/A-18E/F. The Revell instructions don't say but there is a drawing that shows them at about 72 degrees but I'm not sure that is correct. Anyone know the actual angle these are canted at?

Thanks

Larry.

Well it's a good shot and I put a protractor up to it and the left one is at 70 degree's and the right one is at 71 degrees so I'm inclined to think that it's probably at 70 degrees.

Thanks much

Cheers,

Larry.

I've got four of those in various stages of production right now as well as two completed. Looks like if you just insert the stabs in the slots and let them drop into position, it looks darn close to what Sigs picture shows. I certainly wouldn't bring them in any more upright.

Thing that hacked me off about the Revell kit so far is getting the main landing gear right so the beyatch doesn't lean. Guess I just need to build 5-6 more til I get the feel for it :banana:
