All the indoor flying models for the kids doing Science Olympiad have aftCG -- some of them even have the CG aft of the wing -- it works for them'cause of massive tail volume (a long tail boom and area equal to 50% of thewing area) and the same airfoil as the wing (a lifting tail vs "flatplate").Mike C.Pretty Prairie, KS----- Original Message -----
