It seems that it is fast and gets you long distances in a hurry, but will wear you out with its constant need for control. I would like to see a discussion of this subject from folks who are flying them. I am particularly interested in the Fixed Gear with about a 200 HP power plant. What can I do while building the plane to minimize these stability effects? Where should the Weight and Balance CG be located to give the best stability results? Thanks, Bill Bradburry
