RE: T-tail Quickie
Hi guys,
I know there is no magical formula. I'm not even trying to get extra speed. The same or close would be nice though. I just have a full stock of quickies (miracle #1) after this season, and thought it would be fun to experiment with something different. I'm in the process of cleaning and organizing my shop (miracle #2) and am looking for a project when I'm done. I have an Ashley to put together, but that's about it and winters are long here and snow is already on the ground. Plus I find the experimenting fun.
As for the launch disadvantage, I was thinking of reinforcing the fuse at the tail with some carbon tow during lay-up and putting the tail on a little bit ahead of it. That way, there will be a two or three finger "handhold" that projects out the back to launch with.
