Phil:
I
have the small tail and short engine mount. I've never flown any LNC2 with
the large tail so I can't give you any comparison, but I can say my airplane
has perfectly acceptable handling qualities. My CG came out right at
the forward limit which I believe is important. It is a pitch sensitive
airplane; however, as a former F-4 driver, I find the handling qualities quite
acceptable. It did not take me long to adapt to the airplane and I
basically fly it with a light touch on the stick. I do not believe
your longer mount will make much difference and it will certainly provide more
room behind the baffling. Everybody has what they like.
Cheers,

I
know the big tail / small tail is hotly debated, but I currently have a long
engine mount and a small tail 360 kit. I am not going to upgrade to the large
tail if I can fly this aircraft in the long mount / short tail
configuration.
Is
any on this list flying a small tail and a long engine mount with a 360 engine?
If so, can you tell me about your flight characteristics? Has anyone also flown
the small tail / short mount and can provide some
comparisons?
Thank
you,
Phil
