If the KE flight has a high AOA involved, the bottom SFG would be providing the lift I think, and that sounds less stable to me than if the top SFG were providing more lift and "holding the plane up" rather than "pushing from the bottom", the plane up. What do you think? and thanks!
It looks to me that would be best if it had toe out.

What power are you putting on the UCD SF ?

The UCD SF had a lot of thing I like in a airplane.
