If you are right handed, I would put it on the right
side of the boom. That way the launching side force
would be pushing it against the boom instead of trying
to push it off.
You would also need to put the rudder control horn on
the right side of the rudder. That way, when the side
force pushing against the rudder deflects the boom, the
rudder pushrod will pull the rudder to the right and
help straighten out your launch. (I've seen pictures of
the early models of DLGs before they started using the
super strong Allegro booms where the boom was deflected
as much as 4" to 5".)
Of course, if you are left handed, everything needs to
go on the left side.

Hello..i'm building a bug..with al mods..also half
ribs...i was
wondering..when mounting the xtail...on what side of
the tail rod
should be mounted?...does this even really matters?..i
mean..is there
any difference in flight performance if the tail is
mounted to the
right or left of the rod?...how does the disalingment
of the tail to
the fuse affects the flight performance?
any advise will help...i'm new at this...and i would
like to build a
bug with good flight performance....mods are no problem
for me...
Well thanks to all of you
