Scratching a G-202
I have been toying with the idea of building an aerobatic plane for my G-23.
I think I can get something with a 73 inch span to 9 or 10 pounds.
Question: Are there any changes one would make to the Giles, to improve the design? Maybe stab position?
As of now, I plan to scale up some GP .40 size plans, as this seemed to have very good moments and areas.
The changes so far would be to increase the stab area a little, and maybe increase the tip chord slightly.
I also plan on plug in wings and stab, as well as airfoil fin and stab.
Can anyone think of any changes to make this plane better?
