Cba p-38
Good information on the booms needing carbon reinforcement. Will incorporate that into the layups for the booms for sure. Where is your reinforcement placed on the booms exactly? Once I get back home I will take some images of the molds and post them for you. So as far as CG placement and speed on the flare, I usually also would be playing with the CG until I found a comfortable flare speed that didn't require throwing out an arresting hook to haul the model to a stop. I've notice with my jets that they like an aft CG when coming in to allow you maintain a positive attitude of attack and have control to flare and not tear the weak gear off on these very heavy models. It sure would be nice if I could come up with a flap system that would be more modern and trouble free and the plans I have also show the air version you have with the outboards being servo operated. Will look into this with a cad program.
