Interesting group of people
The point I was interested in is in CG on extremely lightly loaded airframes
My finding was that cg really is not critical on these highly powered lightly loaded models.
My statement " if it is light enough CG does not matter" really offended some
Why?
I get name calling.
I respond -
more name calling.
I really expected better .
Solch ist das leben.
This is not a good way to handle any debate or discussion - especially from those who post their "letters" after their names.
Just to put certain individuals at ease -
I have never advocated willy nilly cg placements for the conventional airframes .
Also, have models which will trim and fly as free flights (Seniorita, for one) on low power.
Spent lots of time setting up planes for those new to the hobby.
My thought was to encourage discussion on rather new approaches to models - not be condemned for scratching the sacred cows of some reader.
To the true professionals who responded - thank you .
I ain't mad - not even hurt -
just a bit disappointed.
