Default Uhhhhhh!

Cajun,

Dang it, I was hoping to keep these guys all to myself. There is a wealth of information on this site. Keep up the good work gentlemen.

The mixed flap and elevator input should work very well at the speeds we're at with the NERF planes. People have tried this idea with the faster (65-75 mph) B class planes with minimal success.

With the longer nose moments prevelant with the lighter engines, I may have to bring back my canard experiments. The longer moment may give a little more authority. Cobra maneuvers like the Russian Sukoui performs at airshows would be fun to watch if nothing else.
