Default RE: TIP STALL????

Jim, you're right not to add washout. Build it as is and it's a terrific plane. Just be advised of two things:

1 - do not let it get tail heavy - Due to the short tail moment it is very aerobatic, but this also makes it very sensitive, and if it's tail heavy it can snap very easily.

2 - do not attempt to float it in like a trainer. Like FlyerBri said, people tend to think that because it's a high wing that it's docile. It has a fully semetrical wing and needs some airspeed to keep flying. Do some slow fly-bys at a good altitude to get the feeling for how slowly it will fly before it stalls.
