Subject: Cruciform Tail boom length?
Hello everyone!
Today i received the plans to build the Bug. It looks really cool. I
really plan using it as a SAL glider mostly. I have a Gambler that i
really like so this must be a fun glider too. Contruction looks very
simple and should be done in no time as soon as receive the carbon
tubes.
I have a question though. Since i'm using the cruciform tail I would
like to know about the length of the boom. Should i extend it the end
of the stabs on the plan to be able to use the cruciform tail or
should i just move the tail components forward. Waht i have un mind is
to extebd the length of the boom to get the stab aproximately to the
position of the original v tails and get the rudder behind the stab.
Shoot with the sugestions guys!
