Hi Netters. Take a look at Chris Heintz's Zenair series. He uses a reverse airfoil on his horizontal stabilizers. This provides the necessary down moment on the tail to maintain stability. It is like a automatic trim control. You will note that I have caught up to 13 April 06. regards Harold Wood

Larry: I am all for caution on this one! The Zenair 701 & 801 have full span fixed L.E. Slats which according to their Aero Enginee tends to give them a huge pich control issue to deal with. The book on the 701 gives a T.O. run of 90 to 125 ft or so at any rate is short which is why the turtl
