Hi guys,

I haved moved this build to my own thread so that I can "Manage" (read that as "Delete with Prejudice") all the experts who have nothing better to do than recreational arguing and insulting. One of the reasons I'm building the Pacific Aeromodels Clipped-Wing Monocoupe is because myself and a handful of interested others hope to explore a couple of the flight tendencies that don't look right, the main one being the low tail during flight. This does NOT happen on all of them, and the ones that look right are great flyers and their balance is as much as 3/4" forward of the recommended C.G. in the Manual.

A few self-proclaimed experts insist that balancing the plane should be eschewed, they feel that rather than a non-invasive procedure such as shifting or adding weight judiciously we should be carving up our planes, because for some reason they were built wrong. Uh...Yeah. As a complete last resort. I can't see it happening, to tell you the truth.

If you think you'll be coming into this thread to argue that you think I don't know what I'm doing, might just as well go start your own thread elsewhere because if I am controlling this thread I'll simply remove your posts the same day. I'm not here to argue, I'm here to explore aspects of this awesome plane with some of the other guys, unfettered by distractions and especially unfettered by recreational arguing. There will be no response to that sort of thing.

That being said;

I'll be grabbing the text from the old thread and moving it to posts here and uploading the photos here. Looking forward to continuing the thread with you guys that have already been participating! I'm sorry if it will seem a little disjointed here, I could not move the response posts to mine over here, sorry about that guys, I would have loved to have them here. I wasn't left a lot of choice, it was either spend my time arguing over there or get something done here that we can call constructive.

Let's build a Pacific Aeromodels Clipped-Wing Monocoupe!
