Gary,

This sounds like a non-issue. In the 360 kit, the horizontal = and vertical stabilizers are not connected to the kit, so either way = you’d have to “graft” it to the fuselage. The = vertical stab is the same, the larger tail adds a larger horizontal = stabilizer and matching elevators. The vertical stab and rudder = are identical between the two tails.

There are several people who have cut the small tail off of their 360 = and added a large tail.

There will just be some cost with buying a new tail kit and using = those components instead of whatever is missing out of the purchased = kit. I see no problems with this = approach.
