Everyone is lowering stabs quite a bit, and wondering if it's legal. It is? Here's how. Your eye's are glued to the screen now, arn't they. At the rear of the plane the total vertical movement allowed is measured as 10% of the total hieght of the fuse AND rudder, not just the fuse. So if the rudder is 18" tall from the bottom of the fuse to the top of the rudder, then the stab can be lowered 1.8" from the scale position. Is it fair, don't know. Is is legal, yes. Are all the kit companies doing it, yes. Are all the kit companies legal, yes. Can you fly IMAC like this, yes. Don't worry about if a kit is legal. I only know of one 78" pattern plane that sorta looks like a G-202 that would be illegal. The rest of them (ARFs too) are all legal. If you plan to scratch build, I suggest you get some scale three-views to start with.
