Hi,
I am playing with plane design and like the visual aspect of a high wing design, but have come up with an odd consequence, that is the position of the control horns for the flaps and elevator.
If the wing is positioned near the top of the fuselage, then to avoid the control horn sticking out of the top of the plane, the control horn needs to be below the center line of the wing. This then forces you to have the control horn for the elevator about the center line of the stabilizer. This implies either a very low stabilizer/elevator or a hump above the stab eating into the rudder space.
Does anyone know a way out of that AND keep the elevator control mechanism within the fuselage?
