Default RE: Slo-V Wing Position

As you can see, you can run with the wing in just about any position. Moving in back makes the plane nose heavy so you have to give it more throttle or up elevator to climb. But in a wind it is more stable since you do not get as much unexpected lift from the breeze. Moving the wing forward makes the plane tail heavy thus catching more air. Dribbe gave a good set of conditions to consider for each position. Fly it some and you will start to see what happens as you make changes. Nothing like experience to tell you what works best.
