I am at the stage of fabricating the dorsal fin for my Model V Vixen. Not crazy about the design, sitting on top of the fabric, flimsy, and likely to be grabbed and damaged. I spoke to Merle Williams, who said that an easy mod was to replace the dorsal fin with a tube welded between the turtledeck and the vertical stabilizer. Any pix available of this conversion, anyone who has done it? It seem stronger than the aluminum dorsal fin and would be covered by the fabric. Any other ideas of how to smooth the transition from the aft fuselage to the vertical stabilizer? Is anyone just building without the dorsal fin?
