Taylor E-2 Cub The tail skid is bent from .046 music wire.
A piece of 1⁄16-inch plywood is glued on the bottom of the rear longerons with a 1⁄8 × 5⁄16 ×1⁄2-inch lite ply block glued inside the fuse- lage which serves as an anchor block that’s
drilled for the tail skid wire. A .010 × ¼ × 9⁄16-inch brass strip holds the music wire in
cowl. I made mine out of dense Styrofoam® (the blue type available at building supply stores works best). The Styrofoam is cut to rough shape and tack glued to F1 and sand-
place. Use #0 or #1 wood screws to hold the brass strap in place. Now is as good time as any to make the
ed to shape. Once the final shape is obtained it’s carefully sanded slightly undersize (ap- proximately 1⁄32 inch) to allow for the fiber- glass cloth. The Styrofoam mold is broken free from
the fuselage and covered with heavy weight (6-ounce) fiberglass cloth. The
