Oh, you get heavily increased torque from the ailerons for manouverability and you get much more lift from large wings at low speed - especially because on the current design at least 90 % of the wing area suffers from the down-wind generated by the two the rotors, Martin. -- Unix _IS_ user friendly - it's just selective about who its friends are ! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
