Of course it is...if you are smokin' crack......................

Seriously.......I heard this works well on control line stuff, the carrier 
landing guys use it.

Re: Stabs






This is probably going off  the deep end but possibly an alternative to 
wing warping....
 
If you made movable wing halves could you eliminate the stab control 
movement all together making it a fixed stab with no elevator by using two 
high powered servo's(8611's) in the fuse with mixing like elevons.  You 
would most likely need a good bearing on the wing tube for smooth movement 
and control.    The mixing would control wing incidence for pitch and 
opposite movement of wing halves for roll control.    Thus you would have 
only four servo's instead of  6 like in a dual servo stab setup.   No 
ailerons, no elevator the only hinged surface would be the rudder. 
 
  Gray, now Is that possible ????

Since I sent that reply, I have abandoned all flying stab efforts. After 
consulting with my friend, Chuck Y. I realized that flying stabs only have 
an advantage in the near supersonic-supersonic range. As a result, I am 
now researching a new concept referred to as "wing warping" and a 
derivative called "rocket powered wing warping".

Gray - 
Dunno how secret it is - I've been seeing some Masters guys doing that one 
already this season -- they're finding that wing and stab tubes of 
Unobtanium are a must!... it's a plane-killer, you know!    ;)

A flying stab will help tremendously 
with the next big (still secret) FAI manuever......The Supersonic Snap....
