Miss Geico vertical tail wing?
 

anyone know the purpose in the large vertical wing on the mystic now

To see how to mess up a Mystic ??? J/K..... But I personally don't like the look. You ask a great question is there a purpose ????

straight line stability.

Dave, can you explain a little more on what you mean, very interesting, does anyone else use this wing? thanks

I believe that wing help keeping Mystic steady their balanace while on high speeds.

Makes sense but is it removable? You'd think it could cause problems in different conditions! Maybe not though, I'm no expert!

Looks Cool!!! When u push the envolpe u try new things! Evolution! They do things at speeds few of us will ever do. Heavy cross winds might be enteresting but you might as well try something to improved high stability. Just my guess. I'm sure Mark or Scotty will tell us if they want to.

Looks fine to me. :drink:

Actually thats just what Scotty told me so thats about all the tech i got on it. :D

I would imagine at speed it is just another surface that helps keep'er pointed in the right direction. :cool:

Well, I watched SIB race over on Offshoreevents.net and with that wing on Mystic. Mystic was able to set on horizon at turns at high speeds. I noticed it better than without the wing. i could be wrong.
