RE: My elevator idea?????
I had a GP YAK 55 for a short while (too many "arrivals" did in the front end of the fuselage).
It featured a full-flying stab. It was really a handful.
I've heard some guys go to fixed horizontal and elevator on that one.
My E-Flite Tribute has a large elevator with large aerodynamic balances.. stabilizer just large enough to carry the hinges.
It's a good flier.
