RE: Buccaneer balance question
I will bet your A/C was built off the plan by Bill Northrop that had been redrawn in R/C Model Builder magazine of about early 1981. I don''t think the plans have a C.G. noted as it was one of those of the "Test Glide" theory designs. There was a lot of Talk in the accompanying text, but nothing on the trimming and flying.
And yes, one place it notes the wingspan to be 84 inches, yet on the actual plan and in the accompanying ext it states teh w.s. to be 90 inches, 1200 Sq. Inches, about 57 o/a long, and at five lbs. up to .53 for glow engines.
