Default RE: LT-40 porker

That LT-40 and 4*60 bash has been in my head for a few years.

By moving the LE of the wing back, it changes the balance point on the plane, so there would be less rick of a tail heavy plane. Not to mention the use of a heavier motor up front. Don't forget that moving the wing back also allows for servos in the tail.

I'd move the vertical stab back so the hinge line was even with the hinge line of the horizontal stab. Split the elevators, pinch the fuse tight at the tail. Run the rudder all the way to the bottom of the fuse and lengthen the cord about 2"

Set the stab at 0 and set the wing at 0 or maybe negative about 1/2 degree at the LE.

I think it would be a kick with a .60-1.20 size motor.

Thanks for the parts engine SeamusG. [sm=thumbup.gif] What did you win at the meeting?
