With all this talk I am very interrested to see what happens just adding some length to the stab. Has anyone tried a before and after on the same plane? I plan to try it with Tweety Pie when it gets back in the air.

I know mine will be different than most in that I had finished all my tail surfaces before I found out about the modernized airfoil. The tail is completely stock for a 2S. The incidence is just barely on the negative side of 0 deg. and the wing is about plus 1 deg. All things done as they are with the strong intention of finishing the plane not ripping it apart and never finishing it. There are so many other things to consider in the behavior of the plane and a lot of that has to do with the weight and balance. The one thing I do know is if my KR does not feel as good as Bill Clapps' I will change something then ;-) Joe Horton On Wed, 20 Apr 2005 06:33:37 -0500 "Mark Langford" <n5...@hiwaay.net> writes: > Steve Bray wrote: > > > I visited with Troy last week and got a good look at his airplane. > I'm > > pretty sure he told me his HS is now 6 inches wider per side than > it was > > and > > he made his VS match. > > Well there's your answer.
