I don't know if anyone here has ever read about the "Sprit Of Saint Louis", but I recall reading that Linburg had the horizontal stab built small enough to make the pitch unstable. When he was asked why he did it that way, he said: "I didn't want to fall asleep during that long flight, so I had it made small so I had to keep correcting the pitch". Just goes to show you why we enlarge the stab and elevator to keep our models flying level without input......
