Question: My Texan II 90+ ARF has a small slot in the upper section of the vertical stabilizer. What is this for?

Answer: The Texan II, Harvard II and PC9 series of VMAR ARF models has this slot in both 90+ size and the 45-60 size. These models are all semi-scale and we have really tried to capture all of the detailing possible. The full size versions of this aircraft have a small additional horizontal stabilizer in the upper part of the vertical stabilizer. The slot you see in your model holds a small rectangular piece of balsa that is located in the parts bag. This piece is about 1 x 1.5" and finished in white covering. If it is missing, you can cut a small piece of balsa and install into the slot. On the model this is not a functional piece, it is purely for scale like detailing.
