The Empennage

10-3-01
The empennage is the tail of the aircraft. "Empennage" is French, meaning the tail feathers of an arrow. It is also a term commonly used to refer to the tail section of an aircraft.

This portion of the RV-7 project represents about 200 hours of work. Below are links to the construction pages for the individual pieces of the empennage (in order of construction):

 Horizontal Stabilizer
