"I'm sorry but I truly dont see how I am acting like a trailer park redneck idiot as you so kindly put it. I modified my plane a small amount and it made it fly a whole lot better. So people that modify their cars, their engines, add tuned pipes, take weight from an airframe...all modifications are redneck trailer park idiots. Nice" Quote Fly-Guy


Fly-Guy, this seemingly incessant need of yours to try to prove you know more than anyone else is a true character flaw and at 16 its just a part of immaturity. I really don't have the time or will to mess around with a 16 year old child. I am 41 and have been flying rc since i was 6. I went into engineering as the behest of my father who said i would use it my whole life, he was right. I learned scratch building from him in the days when you couldn't get kits for most types of airplanes, there were NO arfs then. You just buy a plane and fly it and haven't got a clue how its built or why it flies like it does. In the aerodynamics section there is another thread on wing rock. I suggest you read it. The seeming guru in there said to put stabilizers AT the wingtips. He is accurate in his discussion of wing types and types of airfoils. Lets end this on a good note and try to be friends. I don't even know you and therefore it is not wise of me to suppose anything about you personally so... I apologize for the redneck remark.

Happy landings, Curtis
