<DIV><SPAN class=140481616-31012006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Well
there is an awful lot of fuselage below the stab, and the shape of the canopy
and turtledeck (what a funny word!) has a lot to do with
it.'</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=140481616-31012006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>It
might have to be huge, in order to work. What do you want ... it's scale! That's
not to mention that all this trimm stuff is part art, part
science.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

that a full-scale Decathlon requires about 1/2 opposite aileron and about 1/4

<DIV>Dean,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I tried that with my Cap21, and it made no detectable difference. Maybe I
did not make it big enough, I don't know.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It is funny you mentioned this at this time. My son is just getting into
the hobby (and getting me back into it). We were rummaging through
all my old stuff, and we found the "experimental" dorsal fin from the Cap
the other day.</DIV>
