Dick,

I’m a big fan of your Tiporare design that has the tallest part of the fuselage along the wing and in front of the CG and I love they way it flies. http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_2827386/tm.htm I think it is one of the most attractive looking pattern aircraft ever designed. Do you have any insight on why the current fad in pattern aircraft design has the tallest part of the fuselage further aft.
