Default RE: 50cc Sukhette Build Thread, now in progress!!

Ok.... Questions......

I have just retired my WH Extra 300, and have received the 87" Sukhoi. Not to mention that the UPS didn't destroy it on the way here this time. It looks like they hand carried it over here with little white gloves on. NOT A SCRATCH!

Ok.. The tail- forward or back tube- that is the question. I have read yea and nay over various forums, and threads, and officially have no idea where I want to go with this-
I have absolutely no problem flying a twitchy plane, and am by NO means a 3D pro- I guess you could classify my flying as a 50/50 mix-

has anyone flown the tail in each position? if so, I guess what I am asking here is, will the bird still 3D fairly well with the rear stab setting? OR, will the plane still fly nice knife edges and do nice point rolls fairly precisely with the forward stab setting-
I think I'm leaning to the back position just for looks, and I guess I can always move it forward if I warrant it later, I just can't move it back without replacing the pushrods-

What's the general consensus guys?

Sheesh Tom- You gave us too much- too many options!!! lol I guess that's a good "problem" to have!!
