Default RE: Pitts M12 26% plans available soon

Thanks Slade. To be honnest, I am quite happy with the results so far

I just calculated the CG. It looks like I will have to make the tail as light as possible I will have to be creative to make it light and still strong or... may be move the wings a little bit backward. Any suggestions here ?

As a start, what do you think about the following value for the incidence?
upper wing 0°
Lower wing 0°
Elevator 0°
with engine Down thrust 2° & Right thrust 2°

Boogie, I read in a review that a MVVS 1.6 Gas is able to swing a 18x8 Menz-S, wood propeller at 7350 rpm developping a thrust or 6.5 Kg. This would be just enought for 3D if the weight stays within my target of 5.5 - 6.5 Kg.

Gene,
I'll make both DXF and PDF files available (CDR format is for Slade only ). PDF files are usable on virtually any PC and easy to print without specific computer skills.

Here is another preview:
