This beautiful carbon moulding is used to securely mount the tailplane (also called horizontal stabiliser or hoz stab) on the Vladimir's Models Blaster 3.5, Snipe and Snipe SN discus launched gliders. The mount (also called a pylon) has a nice airfoil shape and is faired into a conic section for bonding to the glider's tailboom. The rear is open to act as a fairing and actuation slot for the elevator horn. Although designed for the Snipe it will work with many DLGs. It can be mounted above or below the boom, whichever the designer prefers.
The mount has two stab mounting holes 25 mm apart that are threaded for M3 metric screws.
