hi stef, thank you for the update. nice to dream of something other than these four walls and bad news on tv.
what is the top speed and cruising speed? do you like that engine choice? as far as nose down, thats interesting. the reason canard designs are more efficient is because both wings are lift whereas in conventional design, the tail is pushing down canceling some lift in the main wing and requiring a percentage of "climb power" to make up for all that loss. so my thought is to balance the aircraft within the safety design envelope but with least need for trimming the elevator up. what is your weight and balance situation? not sure if other factors also involved here such as tailplane and wing incidences but your aircraft is to plans and looks very correctly built so not likely. I am surprised about the oil cooling since an aircraft always has lots of airflow available but I'm sure you correct, more cooler should result in enough heat removal and then thats that. chris _______________________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at https://www.mail-archive.com/krnet@list.krnet.org/.
