The XA41 and the XA42 have a standard empennage with stabilizers and movable control
surfaces.
The spars are made of carbon fiber rovings, carbon fiber mesh and foam cores. The
empennage shells are made of honeycomb sandwich with carbon-fiber laminate.
The vertical stabilizer is a part of the fuselage. A trim tab is attached to two hinge points on
the right side of the elevator.
All composite parts have different protective layers: a polyester layer, an acrylic filler and an
acrylic paint to prevent damage to the structure because of moisture and UV radiation.
