Tom Go to http://www.krnet.org/mvn2004/ . The first picture you can see the balance horns on bill Clapp's KR. For a better picture click down about 15 pictures. You may also want to go to http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp which is the KR net archives and read what has been said about the stability of Bills plane.
