RE: Curare tail

Thanks for the great explanation. My early models were built with reduced wing dihedral per the suggestion of a much more experienced local "expert" with the described pitch and roll results. Building these according to plans saves lots of grief.
Correct on moving the wing forward. I found the need to bury elevator and rudder servos as far back in the fuse as I could get them to save adding gobs of lead on early models. As I learned to build lighter, moving the wing forward allowed placing these servos at the rear of the wing saddle.
For 4 stroke installation, I moved the firewall back to maintain fuselage profile.
