Default Last minute change for Design Contest plane.

I LIKE it. Very classic looking. And simple to build with the all sheet wings.

I hope it's not a problem but the tail surfaces look a trifle small for the wing area. Especially the vertical. Time will tell I guess. Watch for dutch rolling tendencies or any tendency for it to fall off to one side or the other during climbs. Or unexplained snap rolls during high speed pullups.

I'm temped to follow in yer footsteps. Something compact like this would be a perfect "motorcycle model" to go on the back of my bike so I can get two hobbies in during one Sunday morning. What's the span?
