Default RE: Skymaster Gripen with scale features

Gudmund,
take a look at this picture:

This is just before rotation. Your picture is taken after rotation. Look at the difference in canard and elevator throw.

Rob,
CG of 140mm and a very little canard input will be my starting point.
I have noticed that the main gear is very soft. I'm working on a semi scale main leg that has a wider stance and is stiffer.

I need to fly the Gripen and get some experience before I discuss this further ( or I will find my self in deep water) - but it is an interesting subject.
