I am hoping you funfly pilots with experience with more than one funfly airplane will be able to answer this. I need to know what engine placement will effect slow flight to allow the slowest speed for landing. Assuming that the CG is the same (a bit back to allow all the fun of funfly) is it better to have the engine closer to the wing or farther forward.

Assuming that I have a plane that I can move the radio equipment and engine to keep the CG at the same location and not add any weight, will I get better control and slower landing speeds with the engine farther forward or as close to the wing LE as possible. The plane does have flaps or flaperons, depending which switch I flip.

The plane I now have, a SPAD based on Don Incoll's Wasp flys absolutly great except that it tends to land rather fast and doesnt just mush at the stall point as I have seen other planes do. I fly in a big field near my house and have only a 10 - 12 foot wide curving dirt road to land on so I am trying to get the landing speed down so I can drop it in where I want it (preferably at my feet). This plane weighs around 4Lbs so I dont think weight is the issue.

Any input would be appreciated.

I just love the 'Outside the box' flying of funfly.
