Designed exclusively for the RAF2000, the stabilizer not only improves the dynamic flying characteristics of the machine, but also embraces and enhances the overall RAF styling. Construction is a composite of E-glass, Herex foam and vinylester resin. The simplicity of using the five existing bolt holes employed for the vertical stabilizer attachment requires no further holes to be drilled in the RAF2000 airframe.
Assembly is easy.
You clamp the fibreglass flanges to the keel, run a drill bit through the existing bolt holes in the keel and bolt the horizontal stabilizers on to your RAF2000. Time, 1- 2 hours Load testing has been completed, both on and off the machine, in a positive and negative direction, to the standards of the Australian Civil Aviation Authority. The simulated load was 294 lbs. This load is approximately four times the maximum airloads seen by the wings in flight. Flying instructors will appreciate the ability to quickly remove the horizontal stabilizers, fly a circuit showing the novice pilot the detrimental change in stability and then put the stabilizers back on.
