Default RE: Effect of tilted horizontal stab


ORIGINAL: BMatthews

3 to 4 degrees won't have much aerodynamic effect unless it's a pattern model where all the little things count but it's hard to fly the model when you're staring at your toes as you hang your head in shame while the other guys at the field point and smirk. I'd say slice it off and do it again but that's me.

Everyone already rolls their eyes when I pull in anyway. I'm only person in the whole club that seems to fly profiles. It's all I fly anymore. The last thing I worry about is their reaction to a crooked stab. Heck, I have enough to worry about just getting my planes home in one piece.
