The tail boom
is very easy to make. The boom is cut from 1/8" sheet and should be 1/4"
wide tapered down to 1/8" wide. You can make the boom from a piece of 1/8"
x 3/8" x 8" long balsa. First mark on the left side 1/8" down, and then
on the right side 1/4" down. Then draw a line diagonally across the wood
to join the points with a pen (see photo below).
Use a straightedge or a ruler
and cut along the line to cut the wood in half.
And here are the two booms
which you just created.

on and glue the boom to the body or go back to
the main page.
