Jim, I've read Don's line by line pro/con of this Canalizer on this plane so far. if there was ever a design that could spark WW3 over the use of a Canlizer, this is the one LOL

Keep in mind this is an experiment, and Iappreciate the feedback. Don seems to like it so far. But reading the pros vs cons on what it does to THISairframe, it gets cloudy. Iknow some planes improve across the board. This is not that plane. Iknew it wasn't from day one. or had a strong suspiscion. Yes it does something, but it's not all positive. Ithink that's what Arch meant. Iknow what he's worried about, that people will see it and think "Oh NOIhave to have one on mine or it won't fly right!"Uhhh no. In fact, HECKno. Ithink it's neat that he's trying it out, and being objective about all of it. But he hasn't posted his results here, only pics.

Having read the results, the jury is still WAYout. The only thing that matters to me is whether or not DONlikes it. On his particular plane. he'd be the first to tell you this design is one of the best out there. But the other thing he didn;t mention is, I'm working on something new...have been for a long time, and Ineed more info, all Ican get. Good, bad, ugly, whatever. Don has helped me immensely in that regard.

But so has Archie. And recently even Chip to some extent. If Ihave learned ANYTHINGabout designing planes, it's that no 2 people like the same thing. Pattern above all else is very personal and particular when it comes to set up and feel. My challenge is making a plane that can be adjusted to cover the largest swath of that spectrum as possible. That's a razor's edge balance and it's not easy.

So, relax guys....it's experimental, and it's cool that he's trying it out. if he likes it, then great! If he doesn't, I'm sure he'll remove it.
