I remember the Scarebus had a big red tail bump/skid under the fuselage like an overgrown mole. A proposal was muted that the standard walk around kit should contain a can of red spray paint to paint over any missing color from this appendage. This would no doubt eliminate lengthy delays and flight cancellations.
Fortunately, we never had cause to budget for this item and in fact with the short fuselage, you would have had to work pretty hard to get a tailstrike on the Scarebus. Undoubtedly of it's rare good points.
Am surprised the Pixie boys are having TS issues, I had thought the Boring had much the same characteristics as the Scarebus in this respect.
