I assumed earlier all the factory build NG
tailplanes are perfect but builder-built foam
structures are seldom ideal.
How is that - do there exist any Europas with foam
tailplanes flying with trimmed trimtabs perfectly
in-lined with tailplanes?
Was not that interesting: many people have built
ja flied with success their Europas and still they
could not understand it is principles how it
works?
Jos, welcome to D.D. Club ;) there are many
members already...
