Jay, have you calculated weight and balance yet?

Corky Scott


Ya, thats how the nose got so long. That part is easy with the
modeling software. I'm a little concerned because the design will
have a very large moment of inertia in pitch and yaw, which on one
hand will make it stable, and on the other hand will make spin
recovery a challenge. Definitely a XC design. If you're interested,
I'll e-mail you the model and you can fly it.

BTW, thanks for reposting my message, it got lost in the car brand
debate.
