TA-4H Tail with Extension

You can see how far I had to cut back on the sugar-scoop to fit the tailpipe extension.  This extension was installed as a way of protecting the Ayit from SA-7 missile strikes hitting the hot tailpipe and knocking out the tail surfaces.  Bitter lessons from the Yom Kippur War and was applied to all single-seat and two-seat Ayits.  The extension is from QuickBoost.

Can also see how far I have come with the squared off tail-tip.  I used sheet plastic to shim up the Hasegawa tail-tip.  Once the fuselage halves are glued together, will do the fine fitting the tail-tip and add the small antenna at the top.
