Richard,
Got the pipe yesterday. Thank you! I mailed a check yesterday as well. What I plan to do is use a 24" disc made of coroplast, and the first 3" of the leading edge will be recessed at an angle/curve into the pipe. I'll cut a small access panel into the bottom for radio and tank access. I'll find a piece of ply for the firewall and glue/screw it to the front of the pipe. I also plan on dual, functioning rudders to allow spins.
Best guess for balance will be 28 percent of the chord. I have an unemployed GP .42 for an engine.
John, I received your check and note about wanting to do a Roundtuit since the '80s... WOW, I sure hope you build it correctly and that it flies wonderfully. Please keep this thread showing all your steps to it's build by photos... And please include all the steps, and modifications as you build it... Later, Richard
