Default RE: Suggestion for moderators

of course - the size,weight and airspeed are far greater -and the inertia is in a completely different world.
My point was - the attitudes the craft can operate in are the same -
If you do fly foamies -just for fun - you will find that the CG can be stuck just about anywhere on a really good aerobatic setup and --YOU --acting as the computer (what better computer is there?) , can do all kinds of nutty things with it - take a look on the German modelling sites for the guys who have developed push/pull propeller driven models to a fine art . The models actually back up -
The unusual antics shown in the SU30 were not simply done to amuse someone - they were part of a program to work out the possibilities of going outside the usual limits .
On my precision aerobaic -contest models - I get cg to within 1/2" (on a 25 lb model ) for best use of the design
On my 6 ounce foamies -I fly em with bout the same allowable varience .
Different ballgame .
