Default RE: Fidgit contest plane pics

Wow! Thanks for the info and the mock up Bipe. The foam cores on your mock up look better than the ones I cut for any of my !QUOT!nice!QUOT! airplanes.

I should have done a little more research prior to construction. It seems that the C.G. needs to be from 10% to 15%. When I made the nose short and the tail long, as CP noted, I thought the C.G. would be the normal 25% to 30%. I still think I can achieve the required C.G. by placement of electronics, but if needed I may add tricycle landing gear (UNGH!) to get to where I need to be.

And again, thanks for the advice and encouragement
