If done properly the gluing of the fabric at the tail transition works well. The fabric of the vertical tail is glued to the top fuselage tubes and the radius transition between the tail and fuselage. The fuselage top blanket when installed is also glued to the same top tubes and overlapped to the tail...

Couple more pics. Make sure you pull the fabric slightly tighter by the tail transition so when you final shrink it comes out tighter. If you shrink evenly on both sides of the vertical tail it will come out straight. ...

Here are a few pics that may be interesting. Up here on Champs and Tcraft we overlap and glue the tail to fuselage transition. No AI rejections that I know of. I agree on the blanket vs the sock approach. Better results. ...

I bought my F21A for the wings to go on an experimental J4 but when I went to pick them up the owner said why not buy the rest of the plane. After looking it over I felt it was in too good of condition to scrap it. The price was right and now its close to being airworthy and better than the factory... -
Surprised this forum still exists! Good to see it does as I am restoring an F21A and enjoying it. Hope to have it flying maybe at the end of this year.
I am also working on locating parts and info to complete an experimental Taylor Sport.
