For those of you who are unfamiliar with the RHJ-8, here is a link that you
might find interesting. http://www.soaridaho.com/Schreder/RHJ/C-FAJT.html Wayne http:/www.soaridaho.com/Schreder "Dave Nadler" wrote in message ...

I still have my whale (RHJ-8), and most pilots have really enjoyed the seating. No shouting back and forth down a long tube, MUCH friendlier for rides, shared set of instruments. Easier for instructor to see what's going on with student and hit him. Visibility impact is not so much ! CG management is more challenging especially if pilots are far enough in front of wing for good visibility. Much-appreciated side-by-side designs include Platypus and Akaflieg Darmstadt D41 (sadly no more). Most pilots who have flown these really like the arrangement ! Always lots of opinions out there ;-) Best Regards, Dave |
