Hornet stabilizer pivot points


Recommended Posts

Hi all

I have a CF-18 and I've taken the stabilizers off to better assemble it. Worked like a charm! Now I need to drill holes and make pivot points to stick 'em back in drooped.

Also, I believe there is no downward drop as the fin extends out, can somebody verify this? For example, the F-16 and F-4 fins are designed with a downward angle. The Hornet doesn't have this, right?

Any help would be appreciated.

This photo is from the ARC walkaround section. The pivot is about midway between the two vertical rivet lines, directly above the newspaper being held by the dude in the lawnchair using the Hornet as a sunshade... :cheers:
