RE: Southern R/C bootlegger plan
It freekin amazes me that the most ardent memebers of the CPAlack the self-controlto not bomb a thread with bull. This shortsidedness and lack of composure iis exactly why I would not want to join the CPA. Especially after several of their most activemembers lack thejudgementto not participate in the immature childish behavior andlack of self control they have shown in the recent posts.
Who would want to participate inthat typeof organization when even the ardent members have sucha thin skin andget butt hurt oversomeone like me.It'salmost unbelievable.
I love these planes and Bootlegger is no exception. But these guys have to win at the expense of everyone else and to the dismise of potentionally newpeople and the alienation of current enthusiasts just so they can, what, they win the arguement? Feel better about themselves? Prove they're right? Who knows.
It's obivious to me that the CPA exists to polish the ego's ofit's powers to be. It's there way or the highway any reasonalbe person would not participate in the bashing another enthusiast but not these guys.
Childish is the correct word for it. I'm starting to think that CPA stands for Childish People Association the way the ardent members posting here have acted. It also occurs to me that it seems the main purpose of the members is bash those that don't drinkthe posioned cool-aid. or get in line and follow suit and agree that they hold the moral highground.
I have not abandedmy Bootlegger project and will follow through with what I said I plan to do with the friuts of it regardless of what others think, do,and want me to do.

Heck Ron,
I'm as shocked as anyone. I went on a week of classic car stuff, Saturday to the AMA Convention, the usual Sunday stuff (not including afternoon flying because it's so cold here), and a buddy says RCU's blowing up!
Oh well, I bought a MIB DMECO kit of the Perigee at the Convention for a smoking price and I'm singing Kumbaya.
Peace and Love, everyone.
Chris...

ORIGINAL: doxilia
and so designs evolve... I also wonder why the Bootlegger, Compensator & Deception all share a very similar, if not identical, airfoil. Did Kimbro share this airfoil with them? I believe his design came before the others if memory serves (~1979?). Maybe Kimbro could share some light on the subject if he happens to check in.

I am about to start building a Bootlegger + 10% for a K&B 100 r/e. The plan I have shows a 0/0/0 set up of thrustline/wing/tail incidence and no side thrust. Is this correct please?

Arrowair,
That's a good starting point. After it's together and flying use one of these Flight Trimming Guides
