Old and Bold RC PILOT
I do frequent RC Groups and whilst I appreciate the effort in altering the design by changing the tail incidence angle it is something that is difficult to accomplish for many readers post build, especially when either building a FT supplied kit or following FT provided plans!
Rather than directing people to another website for answers it is normally better to provide a simple solution in words that they can follow or understand to give them an easily obtained, and somewhat immediate result or improvement.
Most of the newbies here are unable to plot a datum line and so measuring and altering them to improve a design is not what they are seeking. Most just want to fly the design they have just built. Centre of gravity is about as technical as it gets. Understanding centre of mass, the effects of varying thrust lines, and other aerodynamic concepts are best spoken of in general, rather than the scientific, terms where possible.
Keeping the information simple and easy to implement is the big difference between forums and whilst technical solutions and scientific explanations may be requested, or required, sometimes generally all that is required is an easily implemented solution by someone whose tools box contains a glue gun only, besides not all builds are equal.
Keep it light and helpful!
Have fun!
