The C2 wings are definitely smaller in area. My calculation with the tip blocks and l.e. and t.e attached is about 418sq inches per panel. The T-Can is quite large and I calculate about 90sq in for T-Can.
Chris,
Are ZN also shrinking the stab a proportionate amount? Beware of the pattern model too stable in pitch.

No, stabs on both models are the same.
The Axiome reduced wing area by T-can size, and increased stab area (and fin) from previous experience with the Osmose...which later became the Evo with an increased fin. I don't think it hurt CPLR too much
I specifically asked him this, as I had about a 1/2 hour talk with him and noticed how big the stab was and said...."doesn't that make it hard to snap", simple response was more or less....yes, but every design is a compromise. Maybe you will see him move back to a smaller stab for the 11 sequences to help with all the snaps.
