Do you have the "original fuselage" or the "new fuselage"??

- Original Fuselage:

No hole at the rudder/tail's bottom indicates the original fuselage. These models lack a control shaft access point for the rudder, making tailwheel installation impractical. For original fuselages, we recommend using a skid plate (not included) to protect the tail during rough landings.

- New Fuselage:

A hole at the rudder/tail's bottom signifies the new fuselage, allowing for easy tailwheel installation following our AeroScout conversion guide.
