Empennage

@Thushanth Parameswaran

• New servos ordered.

  • Lighter than what was planned initially. 1 servo for each side for the elevator, 1 servo for the rudder.

  • Mounted inside the stabilizers

  • The Airfoil of HS was changed to NACA0012 from 0009 since it was too small to mount the servo inside.
