I can't thank you guys enough for the response to this, it has been VERY interesting! Wow...even got NASA involved...so Cajun...what's the next one?

I do have another issue that I have been told is an aerodynamic no-no...and thats putting the Horizontal stab in the same plain as the the wing. I've been told by "field critics" that the air off the wing would disturb the airflow across the tail and make the elevator less effective, to the point of loosing elevator control. I didn't know this was supposed to happen, so along with a sharp leading edge, and the horizontal stab in line with the wing, on a very short coupled airplane...we built the "Dogfighter" which is one of the most popular combat Spads, and will turn and burn with the best of them...I guess sometimes ignorance is bliss...if I listened to guys who profess to all this knowledge, I never would have tried it...and it's fun to say "oh yeah? would you like to engage in a little dogfight with my plane that's not supposed to fly?"
