BC12 fin drawing

[taylorukuk]

Does anyone have a drawing of the BC12 fin?
Ours seems to have had a little rough treatment and the two tubes that mount onto the fuselage seem to need pulling apart slightly to align with the fuselage tubes - is this normal or should it be an easy fit?

Mine slid right in smoothly on both the pre and post war planes. Your SN should be 9043 and she should have a two hinge post war fin. I would start with the rear tube and make SURE the hinges line up and the rudder moves smoothly, then "adjust" the front tube last for a smooth slide into the fuselage tube. I wouldn't think it was that unusual for one of the fin tubes to get a bit wonky when it is off the plane and gets banged into.

Your absolutely correct - Diagonal brace at the front has been knocked at some stage - A little adjustment required!

Fabric tends to bend things when it gets shrunk.
