RE: thickness vs chord
Sorry -Ben - I did not say"breaks a rule" -just bends it.
The configurations for a honeybee are not very good for a 747 and the configurations for a Piper Cub -tho more easily understood -are really not that grea for a basic model trainer
you have to know how to bend em -mend em and send em.
It's like playing good jazz.
You have to know the rules in order to move around the edges .
Example : Eb blues is played in Eb- but all the notes are not in a Eb major chord.
Dig it?
