Cool Dwayne! I keep forgettin to build something for my Norvel .15 ame. Did you take the needle out and replace with a spraybar? If it flies good, how's about gettin me the specs. 52 foot lines or 60? Good luck with it,, Ray

Thanks Ray
It has a span of 34" 12" root cord and 7" tips I have a set of 56' lines so that's where I'll start. All I did on the AME is remove the needle and plug it this should work fine.

I predict you're gonna regret that counterbalanced elevator...

Why?

If he limits the elevator stab movement it should fly just H^^ as well or better than the Reinhart "Stunt Wing". Had to make it a little nose heavy to do a nice pattern.

Why?
It'll tend to be too touchy, with little or no natural return to neutral--makes for a very shallow "groove", which makes eyes-off (hands-off?) flying a little more difficult. Getting the CG just right will help a lot, but it's unforgiving if just "pretty close". IMHO, and I could be (and often am) wrong, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. Give us a flight report when you get to that point, and if it works well I'll happily concede the point.
Looks like a fun, and tough, ship, by the way.
