Default RE: RE: basic aerodynamics

These are really crossbreed copters and fixed wings.
Well, and there are autogiros and balloons too, but I supposed we were talking about plain aircraft not just things that hover around…

It is a bit like some full scale fighters - where the computer keeps em from "departing".
The computer is necessary just because they are too unstable to be controlled by the pilot only.

The CG can have a very broad usable range.
How broad? From the tail to nose?
Does that mean that CG location is totally irrelevant for a stable flight?

They are goosey but they do fly
Hmm…

But thanks for the pictures anyway.
