Default RE: Neutral point effects of long nose


I think they just ran the history of the 104 and it DID suffer from loads of yaw instability. Kept making the vertical stabilizer bigger.
The landing parachute was also used when the plane ran out of runway on Stinky Takeoffs. Too bad so many first test pilots died debugging it...[&o]
