So here is my dilemma. I have to ship this thing to another board member and the box my GF brought me will accommodate the jet if I can remove the vertical stabilizers on the back. Does anyone know how to do this? I searched via google and youtubes and came up empty. I even tried referencing the BP's on yojoe.com and got nothing. Any help would be appreciated, or I guess I can just look for another box.
As always, Thanks everyone. -DD

Hold on....... ok Im back just popped one of the "vertical stabalizers" I call them vertical fins but im assuming were talking about the same thing. Pull up on them while moving slighty from side to side. There are four tabs on each fin. Two up front, two in the back of the fin, two tabs are next to each other facing outwards from each other same with the other two tabs on the back of the fin. You might have to put a little force on it as you pull but not to much. If it really stiff maybe you can lift up a little on the fin and try placing a little bit of baby oil in there to loosen up things. Good luck

Yah most wiggle out with some force but they do get stiff from sitting in there for a long time. Baby oil works great if that's the issue. My friends would tell me to put my purse down but this stuff is fragile and old they just don't understand.

if you just throw it on the floor upside down, they will just pop off.

Dave you are my GD hero! I just popped them right out no lube needed (I'm sure my client will be pleased with this). This thing is boxed (kinda tight fit) and ready to go! Many thanks again good sir!
