ORIGINAL: John La Belle
Several years ago I designed and built a 1/10 scale DC7 about 139 span with 4 OS 91 and Ziroli style construction. It flew great except unstable in uncontrolled pitch up when nose raised up over about 20 degrees the nose rose higher and higher and only increasing power and full down elevator would lower nose then it would fly great. moving Cg forward did not help finally lost it close to ground.
I am presently building a 1/10 scale DC4 which has shorter nose to see if the lifting was caused by the long DC7 nose or some other reason. ANY IDEAS John

Was quite surprised to see your posting;I would VERY MUCH appreciate a set of plans as stated in my previous post I would be quite willing to help with any financial costs with regard to your plans. Please let me know at your convenience
