I=20 know the big tail / small tail is hotly debated, but I currently have a long= =20 engine mount and a small tail 360 kit. I am not going to upgrade to the larg= e=20 tail if I can fly this aircraft in the long mount / short tail=20 configuration.

 

Is=20 any on this list flying a small tail and a long engine mount with a 360 engi= ne?=20 If so, can you tell me about your flight characteristics? Has anyone also fl= own=20 the small tail / short mount and can provide some=20 comparisons?

 

Thank=20 you,

 

Phil
