Depending on what Spanky wants to build that kit won't do.

The tails are different between the kits. CH/HH only give you one type, A/D gives you both. The difference being short and tall. IIRC one angles more at the point then the other.

That is good to know! I suspect there is as much variance in rotary wing types as there are in fixed wing. Only had a few experience in helo's including having the pilot of one call me forward just as the copilot banked and I did a fair impression of floating in the cabin for a second or so. Crew chief grabbed my web belt and pulled me down on the floor. Said that first step was pretty nasty with a grin!
