Default RE: RE:

All of the dimensions and aspects of the design are complete. The trick is always in getting the nose and tail moment correct. The trick there is make them long and trim it down until good. The weight of the motor is the key. The modern 1/2 A designs realized a benefit of sweep in the wings to lengthen the nose moment of very light engines. I like longer tail moments as well. They tend to groove thru the manuevers. Having sweep allows this to be done. This design will be a typical foam wing, with carbon arrow shaft center rib.
