I may do both... but it depends on if/when I recover the tail fin... it is actually in very good condition and was done after the wings. I will know much more after the lay up with fiberglass. If it goes OK, I may do the tail feathers in fiberglass. Thanks for the link... my crew is coming together and West technical experts have been helpful. A few people...even in my club have questioned fiberglass, so I made a note on the covering thread.
Additionally I am thinking about mounting a High Resolution Bullet Cam in at the top of the VS... which would require some minor modifications. I just purchased the camera to see how it would work... the Bullet Cam has 420 lines, very light wt. (about 3 oz) is weather proof and is only 1" by about 3"... so it could fit. Additionally when I do the wings, I may build in the another camera or two... at least put in the wires, mounts, etc. along with the wires for lights... perhaps the LED lights. The old strobes and transformers are coming out.
Again, I am trying to think of things that are doable at this stage of rebuilding that might not be worth it later. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Bob
