Does this help?

Re: Post War Tail Size.

Great drawing! Now we just need one for the pre and post war side by sides. I want to compare this drawing to the rudders I have in the hangar.

Though I cannot read the fine print, the larger lettering says that is for the L-2 models.

Re: Post War Tail Size.

I can send you the file so you can zoom in but the p/n is the same as B model's rudder D-A410-1

That's what Forrest told me and it appears to be true

Re: Post War Tail Size.

I was told that the complete empennage was the same, too, but my L-2 had a larger rudder. Not sure if it was changed during original restoration to something else?????

Re: Post War Tail Size.

To clear up any errors, I re-checked my Rudder, and 3Dreaming was right. It is a post war (2 hinge). I don't know why I had it stuck in my head that it was a 3 hinge. The fuse is definatly a 1938, and I guess I must have just assumed the tail matched it. So for the record, Pre War are 4" shoter with 4" more span than Post War.

Hi, guys.
The post war Taylorcrft BC-12D use same rudder that L2 series aircraft. Two hinge rudder. Letter "D" has indicated that many parts of model DOC/L2 was used in manufacturing of post war models.-

So here is a strange question. If you have postwar tail on it I am going to assume you have 2 right elevators and flying tab underneath? Also the span is not 4" wider, stabs are same dimensionally, rudder is 4" deeper.

L2 shares everything with bc12d except left elevator.

I don't have the flipper, and I don't care so much for originality. I think it will go together with the late model elevator trim. I hear it works better anyhow. Any opinions?

Re: Post War Tail Size.

All this is in the Foundation newsletters ; the L-2 has the "D" tail and is the same as the BC12D Postwar after middle of Dec... 2 hione of course...n
