Hey guys
Dick Hanson is right from the start of the thread if you check exactly what he says and of course if you have a sense of humour. As a matter of fact he is talking like a modeller and not like a full scale aviator. In full scale it is very difficult to heave the powerplants with extreme power that in modelling we have. So lets say that in full scale the airplanes are limited to less power. Also they are limited with more weight. So the CG makes a lot of sense. Also the dynamic balance makes even more sense.(It is aft the CG).
Now in modelling nowdays we have the choice to overpower our planes and maybe make them also a lot lighter than in the past; so we somehow change the clasic way of aerodynamics. eg. A full scale tail heavy airplane stalls (because of many reasons) in modelling can make 3D aerobatics....




You see our point?
Now if you want to get back to the Classic Aerodynamic theories man I would suggest you check some 3D flying. No pilots inside and full G specifications make a lot of difference in flying.
