Default RE: Convert a old r.c. wing to c.l.

Hi Hossfly
I will throttle it but not with a third line even though I do have a J. Robart's handle and the belcrank for it. But that is lots of extra line drag and wight on the inboard side.
Not enterested in competeing with it or any thing. Just a fun cheap plane, fast to build.
Does 12" sound right between the wing t.e. and the stap l.e.? Or should I go for a longer tail moment arm? When I was young we would lengthen the tail of Magicians about 2 inches if they had flaps. So I am wondering if the tail is long enough.
Once I start I will do a build thread.
Because of storage and transport limits I am going to make the wing removable.
