Tuna,
Comparing John Harmon's HR2 plans and the RV-4 preview plans (I have both), the HR2 and RV4 horizontal and vertical tails are dimensionally the same.

Regards,

WOW! As in Gee Wiz! The comments made by people looking at the ship.
I think it looks great. I call it an RV4.8 ER. (AUX FUEL)
Performance,ie speed, is un-changed.
I used the '8 emp because it is pre punched and WILL be straight.
Plus I did not want to build a new jig.
The '4 emp looked like a golf ball, from S&F hail.
The elevator seems to have greater authority at low speed. ie flair.

I would not have changed the emp, had it not been damaged.
