New and Improved EPP Tail Feathers for Eflite Apprentice

[Chuck Baker]

If you have an Eflite Apprentice, you might want to consider upgrading the tail feathers.

I just recently experienced a failure with the Apprentice that was donated to the club.
One of the elevator halves departed the airframe while in a dive.

I ordered the following replacement parts from Hobby R/C:
EFL310003 - Tail Set: Apprentice  https://www.horizonhobby.com/product/tail-set-apprentice-s-15e-rtf/EFL310003.html

I was pleasantly surprised that the new tail feathers were made out of EPP foam with carbon fiber stiffeners.
These should hold up MUCH better than the old mylar-covered EPS foam tail pieces.
