Scratch built Extra 85" - Need tips
Guys,
How much do I have to lower the stab and raise the wing to reduce or rather eliminate the roll / pitch coupling during KE? This is for an 85" wing span extra that I plan to scratch build.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Marcus

Maybe others will chime in... but I feel that the dihedral, cg location, thrust line and decalage would be of greater concern IMHO

I am basing my extra from these attached images. I cant find a Etra that would the right size for my car and fly with a 50cc engine. Hence I gotta make my own. I am also looking for considerable weight savings....about 10 lbs.
All inputs are welcomed.
Thanks.
