Default RE: Typhoon

Dreadnaught, the biggest problem with the Giles design is that the design of the wing and tail doesn't allow it to snap cleanly. I put some double taper in my wings and keep the span down to 73-74". Keep the stab area around 25% or less, about 23% being ideal. Any more and it doesn't snap well, any less and it becomes unstable.

Just a thought.
