Default RE: Cessna Skymaster type plane...

First of all, is there a name for the type of plane in this configuration?
Push-me-pull-you or Mixmaster are the names I've heard most frequently for this configuration.

Here's a moldy-oldy pic of my very 1st scratch-designed R/C aircraft from 1981. It had 2 Cox Golden Bees, aluminum arrow-shaft booms, an old 6 channel Futaba brown case radio (with the chrome gimbals!) 2 HEAVY S-6 servos and a 500 mah battery. Despite all this dead weight it flew great! I used standard r/c trainer moments & stab areas, similar to Paul's example.

Nothing better than showing up at the field with all the experts laughing their *****es off, making jokes while you're starting engines then watching their jaws drop when you launch & set the transmitter down, watching it climb steadily in big smooth circles!
