large slots (about 1 1/4" x 6") through it for the elevator push pull tubes
to come out through the sides of the fuselage, there's not much point in
strengthening it that far forward. The shape I make the FUS-30 doubler will
just clear were the slot comes through and is working very similar to a
house floor joist holder. A hard tail wheel first landing (or rough ground
taxing) creates a downward pull on the tail springs attach bulkhead and an
upward force on the fins tail post. The doubler is only there to help keep
the bulkhead and the post from moving in relation to each other, that would
cause the area between these two locations to buckle!

Looked at Wayne's FUS-30 mod - personally, I would bring the
doubler farther forward, maybe another 3" or so, picking up more
rivets at the top, and all of those on the bulkhead .... but that's
just me !
