Built a Stagger Wing
33 inch wings
Flew it for first time this week. A little tail heavy first flight-seemed to squat a little on the turns. Landing was less than great.
Added some weight to the nose and it flew better. However landing was pretty hairy.
When I tried to flair to land well let’s say it banked hard and skidded in on a wing tip.
My guess is that the lower wing shadows the upper wing at high angles of attack and with the ailerons on the upper wing control was lost
