Hi guys,
Thanks for all your feedback. I note all your points. I had in mind to make a variable stab, as has been suggested but it I will not then be keeping to the scale fidelity of the plane as the stab would have to be "cut off" from the main fuselage. So, whilst it is a very good idea to have an adjustable stab I am hesitant to go this route. I have looked at videos on Youtube of two scale models (true these were different scale sized models) whilst the smaller version was darting during take-off, the larger version (1/3 scale) took off vertically (if you know what I mean). True that in the latter case the wind seemed to have been strong thus aiding lift of the plane. However I am under the impression that the plane may have had positive incidence at the stab in the way it took off. Here take a look at the larger version:

Can I presume that 0-0 stab incidence would be the safest bet?

Thanks again
