Today it seemed like run, run, run. I was off today for a couple of doctor appointments. First was a spinal injection for my bum back. Dang it that is most unpleasant. Unfortunately it won't last long. Had a friend drive me as no driving afterwards. And no food or water before so I was starving by the end and was suffering coffee withdraws. This afternoon a second related Dr. app. At some near point down the road they are going to start burning the nerves, and install and implant to help with the pain. This getting old crap sucks big time. But God will not give me more than I can handle, but he might make me toughen up some more yet.


The work I got done was just planning and drawing. I changed the dimensions I posted earlier as it was just to short coupled. Looked real bad. So I lengthened the tail some. I think it looks much better than it would have. Still subject to some changes.


I also laid out the side view plan (actually the only plan so far) the struts, both interplane and cabane struts.


I am going to go with a side winder engine install, due to much easier to center the fuel tank on the carb spray bar.


The new stab placement is now 29" from back of prop or 13.25" from bottom wing T.E. It was 25" and 8.5". The vertical will stay in the same relationship as before i.e. rudder T.E. at the elevator L.E. just as a normal RM. is.


Please feel free to jump and and suggest changes. Comments most are welcome.
