Been there, got the T-shirt! Spent my share of spare time chasing 'em, thank you!
Built a Satellite and a Ramrod or 2 back in the old days....BIG stabs!
My suggestion to reduce the stab size and move the CG was in response to Chris's statements about "modifying them to modern construction and RC" and "build it as a small parkflyer or mosquito class glider" in an effort to reduce the drag and overall weight to make it a more successful small model. As a matter of fact, I'd probably pick a modern airfoil as well. I'd try keep it looking just like the original design but make some changes to modernize the performance.
But, now that I think about it, that might be a sacrilige, eh?
