Ok so I decided to increase the deadrise to 35 degrees at the bow. The method I used to calculate the deadrise while maintaining profile view...
Very useful information, thankyou.
I think with the amount of power behind it the delay to getting no plane wont be much of a problem, and with the amount of power it would be very...
See what I mean? Its going to want to fly off anything it can. I have the strongest feeling that I have to increase the deadrise, as per the other...
