Is the use of the light tail limited to the very lightest of the MiniMAX designs, ie:Is it strong enough to use on a heavier MiniMAX? The light tail is more time intensive to build and wonder if that might have been the reason to go to the now "normal" tail that uses the laminated (solid) leading edge and generally heavier material construction as opposed to the light tail built-up tail spars.

Thanks to anyone who has some idea of the engineering analysis of the light tail's capability to work on heavier planes. I had a copy of the whole engineer analysis for the basic 1100 MiniMAX, but I might have passed it along to the gentleman I sold the plane to.

Personally, I enjoyed building the light tail on my 1st build. Good thing I did too as it still flirted with "tail heavy" with the 277 Rotax I used.
