Default RE: control line plans

Hi- I draw my own plans and use these self imposed 'rules' as my guide. All my planes fly well, some better than others. I have raced, 3 guys in a circle, 40 sized ships that go >100mph! All incidences: zero-zero- zero for engine- wing- stab. 1 degree right thrust. Bellcranks with the output horn facing you are nice to use. The c.g. should fall about 1/4" ahead of bellcrank pivot. Leadout lines parellel to ground when airplane level. Front leadout line angled back to imaginary point on line with bellcrank pivot. Adjustable leadouts nice luxury. Weightbox on outboard tip is nice 'luxury', too! Have fun! ARUP
