Default How do I fly a low winger?
Troy...basically there are 3 things that help make any model easy to take off, fly and land.
These are....
1. Low wing loading
2. Low wing loading
3. Low wing loading


A rule of thumb for positioning the main wheels of a taildragger is to have a 15 degree angle between the vertical CG of the model and the point where the wheels contact the ground. Too far back and it'll tend to nose over, too far forward and it'll bounce on landing.
