Default RE: new design prototype

For general sport flying it's fine as shown but if you plan on stunting it more aggresively then the elevator hingeline should move forward so the overall stabilizer is about 1/2 movable and 1/2 fixed. And I suspect that the nose is going to be a little bit too long to get the balance point at a position where you can do snappy stunts. You're looking for a CG that is back around the 25% point to ensure a responsive stunter.
