Default RE: Fidgit contest plane pics

FP, I see the method to your madness, I didn't realize this plane is a SCIMITAR in disguise! You can always shorten the nose easier than making it longer, so I think you are approaching this design exercise from the right end. The longer you make a torsion bar, the more whip like it will get, so I'm wondering how far into each wing panel the torsion bar extends before it gets anchored to the structure?
