Build them yourself or have someone build them for you. Can't be that expensive or that hard to do. Tail feathers are the easiest part of the build.
Sure someone will have the plans or be able to help for a nominal fee. Never hurts to asks.

Somebody help fabmaster911 with his little problem.

I would, but I don't have the plans or the plane.

I'd build them but my plane is the ARF and Dynaflite told me they are different than the kit. I tried that approach but thanks for the input.

How are they different? If its built from a plan, they should be the same.

I guess the kit plans and the ARF plans are different apparently. Dynaflite didn't go into much detail just said it wouldn't work.

Did both tail feathers get destroyed? If not, take the good one, turn it upside down and trace the outline on a piece of paper. Add in the ribs that match the position of the good one and the alignment tubes to match the wires. then build a new half on your makeshift plans.

If you have built before this shouldn't take more than a couple of hours of cutting and sanding and covering. As long as they match shape, size and thickness it shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks but the problem is I never had the tail pieces. I got this in a buyout and it didn't have them with it.
