Default RE: Lanier 81" Cap 232

Going with the DL-50 myself. We'll see where the CG is as things come together. Between:

1) Not sheeting the bottom
2) Using CG balsa on the tail feathers
3) Pull-Pull rudder
4) Using the lightest sheeting in the kit for the turtledeck

I'm HOPING I've knocked at least a bit of weight out of this thing's butt.

Won't surprise me, however, if I wind up with some weight in the nose...we'll see.

==============================================

Quick update on the wings:

Rather...I guess...no update. They're still in bags. *heh* No need to have kept them there this long, but life keeps happening to both me and my expert...so haven't gotten over there to get them yet. HOPEFULLY I'll lay hands on them today.
