589	STABILIZER - HORIZONTAL & ELEVATOR	Back to TOP	20070203 00005049
The ("Horiz") Horizontal Stabilizer ("Stab") consists of the horizontal tailplane that is attached to the fuselage and the elevator which is the moveable control surface attached to the trailing edge of the tailplane.
591	Part#:	VMA-F690NTH	20070222 00004111
594	Dimensions:	Please See Note	20070111 00004114
The dimensions of the Horizontal Stabilizer include the mounting Saddle and Elevator unless otherwise noted. The Elevator Quantity is the number of elevator segments. This is usually 1 or 2. i.e. 1 if the elevator is one piece, 2 if the elevator is split into a right and left segment. The Elevator Length is expressed as the length per elevator segment. The Elevator Area is expressed as the total of the area of all elevator segments.
595	Terminology:	Please See Note	20070112 00004115
The term "effective" is used to desribe the size of an object which is tapered or irregularly shaped. The term "chord" describes the linear distance from the leading edge to the trailing edge through a wing or control surface. The terms "saddle" and "saddle area" describe that portion of a flying surface such as the center section of a wing or horizontal stabilizer where it intersects the fuselage.

664	STABILIZER - VERTICAL & RUDDER	Back to TOP	20070207 00005051
The ("Vert") Vertical Stabilizer ("Stab") consists of the vertical tailplane that is attached to the fuselage and the rudder which is the moveable control surface attached to the trailing edge of the vertical tailplane. In the vast majority of cases there is one Vertical Stabilizer per aircraft, in some relatively rare cases there are two.
666	Part#:	VMA-F690NTV	20070222 00004195
671	Source Data - Horiz Stabilizer Elevator Area:	74.01 sq in. (477 sq cm)	20070128 00004200
672	Dimensions:	Please See Note	20070115 00004201
The dimensions of the Vertical Stabilizer include the Rudder unless otherwise noted. The Rudder Quantity is the number of rudder segments. This is usually 1 and occasionally 2. i.e. 1 for 1 rudder, 2 for 2 rudders in the case of two vertical stabilizers on one model. The Rudder Length is expressed as the length per rudder segment. The Rudder area is expressed as the total of the area of all rudder segments.
673	Terminology:	Please See Note	20070115 00004202
The term "effective" is used to desribe the size of an object which is tapered or irregularly shaped. The term "chord" describes the linear distance from the leading edge to the trailing edge through a wing or control surface. The terms "saddle" and "saddle area" describe that portion of a flying surface such as the center section of a wing or horizontal stabilizer where it intersects the fuselage.

20070128/20:26/kps... It is important when attaching the vertical stabiliers to the fuselage to ensure that the rudders are able to fully deflect without coming into contact with the fuselage. The aforementioned "Fuse to End of Tip" and "Vertical Stabilizer Height (effective)" specifications are guidelines only. Full deflection of the rudders is of paramount consideration.

Please note the following convention for weights: When referring to the weight of a model without radio or engine (motor) (i.e. "empty"), the range between the Min and Max weights for the empty model reflect normal variations in production weights associated with material densities. When referring to the weight of a model complete with radio and engine (motor), the Min weight reflects the sum of the Min weight of the empty model plus the weight of the minimum size engine (motor) specified for the model plus the weight of a radio system using the minimum number of channels and servos required for basic remote control of this product. When referring to the weight of a model complete with radio and engine (motor), the Max weight reflects the sum of the Max weight of the empty model plus the weight of the maximum size engine (motor) specified for the model plus the weight of a radio system using the maximum number of channels and servos specified for this product.

The dimensions of the Wing include the mounting Saddle plus any Ailerons, Flaperons, Flaps or other control surfaces unless otherwise noted. The Aileron Quantity is the number of aileron segments. This is usually 2 with one aileron on the right wing panel plus one aileron on the left wing panel. The Aileron Length is expressed as the length per aileron segment. The Aileron Area is expressed as the total of the area of all aileron segments. Flaperons by design have the same specifications as ailerons. Flap dimensions are denoted in the same manner as ailerons. Flap Quantity is usually 2 (one on the left wing panel plus one on the right wing panel). Flap Length is the length of each flap segment and Flap Area is expressed as the total of the area of all flap segments.

986	Dimensions:	Please See Note	20070128 00005200
The Display Box contains the product and is intended for display in a retail or end user environment. The Display Box weight also includes the weight of the protective Shipping Bog. The Shipping Box completely surrounds and contains the Display Box and the product itself.
987	Terminology:	Please See Note	20070207 00005201
The term "Length" refers to the longest side of a box, "Width" refers to the second longest side and "Height" refers to the shortest side of a box. The term "Girth" refers to the sum of the Width + Width + Height + Height. Think of this as the distance around (i.e. waistline) an object. The term "Length + Girth" refers to the sum of the Length plus the Girth and is used by some carriers for the calculation of size limits. The term "Volume" refers to the multiple of the Length x Width x Height. The term "Density" refers to Weight/Volume. The term "Dimensional Weight" refers to the weight that is calculated for an object assuming a density requirement of X lbs per cubic foot where X is typically in the range of 8 to 15 lbs/cuft. Carriers charge freight based on the larger of the actual Weight or the Dimensional Weight. For light bulky items such as ARF model airplanes the Dimensional Weight is usually the larger and many carriers use this as the basis for shipping charges. Air Shipments always use the Dimensional Weight applicable for Air Shipments. For reference purposes we show Dimensional Weights here for both Ground and Air shipments.

In using this information, the user accepts all responsibility for the use of this information and accepts all liability for such use as stated at the following link: Liability Disclaimer & Copyright Notice Within the limitations of this Condition of Use and the Liability Disclaimer, the data published here is intended to meet the following standards of precision.
1031	Units of Measure:	All measurements are taken in metric units. Imperial units are derived rather than measured. In cases where two or more numbers are used to compute a result, the calculation is done in metric and the result converted to imperial.	20070106 00003923
1032	In general, measurements are accurate to within:	+ - 3% except + - .30 for measurements of magnitude 10.0 or less.	20070106 00003916
1033	Distances such as length, width, depth, thickness etc are measured to the nearest:	1 mm. When converted to imperial, inches are calculated to the nearest .01 in. except to the nearest .001 in. for distances approx 30 mm or less	20070106 00003917
When measuring wire diameter, machined metal parts etc where a micrometer or caliper is used, measurements are taken to the precision of the measuring instrument and expressed using more significant figures. The presence of additional digits to the right of the decimal is used to denote this higher level of precision.
1034	Weights and Mass are measured to the nearest:	1 gram. When converted to imperial, pounds and ounces are calculated to the nearest .01 lb. or .01 oz. except to the nearest .001 lb. or the nearest .001 oz. for weights of approx 500 g or less	20070106 00003924
1035	Volumes related to fluids are measured to the nearest:	1 ml or 1 cc. When converted to imperial, volumes of fluids are calculated to the nearest .01 oz. except to the nearest .001 oz. for volumes of approx 500 ml or less	20070106 00003925
1036	Volumes related to non-fluids are measured to the nearest:	.01 cbm (cubic metre). When converted to imperial, volumes of non-fluids are calculated to the nearest .01 cubic ft. except to the nearest .001 cubic ft. for volumes of approx .1 cbm or less.	20070106 00003926
