Woodstock Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Hi all, I’m hoping someone can help please: I’m assembling new tails on a Willow 1. I have new tails, but without horns. Not having ever had the old tails, or ever actually built a V-tail broomstick from scratch, I would appreciate it if someone could help me with a photo showing the rear end of a Willow, in order to guide me as to length , location, and shape of the horns. Thanks, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Chris Hi Chris One piece VTails Pix. Drop me a PM if you want loads of pictures I accumulated before the build (although I ended up getting Tony Fu to build for me due to time constraints) There are also some athttp://willowracing.blogspot.co.uk/p/some-build-notes.html which may prove useful Cheers, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodstock Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 Thanks Mike! Mine has two piece tails, but I suppose it's not all that different.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeDaBike Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 The blogspot has pictures of the two piece tail. I think they're great and love flying my Willow 1, eWillow and more recently my Willow 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffN Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Looking forward to the delivery of my Marlon . A Merlin fuz and tail with Willow 1 wings ! May even turn up at the bwlch eventually .I'm luckey enough to have the bwlch 90 minutes away and the Skirrid 20 minutes away. There are some good Willow builds just a Google away. http://willowracing.blogspot.co.uk/p/some-build-notes.html http://www.modelflying.co.uk/forums/postings.asp?th=107682&p=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oipigface Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I've measured the horns on mine. They are 16mm, measured along the centre line of the horn, from tail plsne surface to the centre of the ball link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
