Another question for the group:
The aircraft design I am working on places the engine a little further foward than necessary for aesthetics, thereby requiring the pilot a little further aft. I realize there is a weight penalty with this (Add'l structure), but what does it do to aircraft inertia realitve to spins, and recovery from them?
Is there a crtitical Inertia vs tail surface size and location?
Attached is a sketch of the preliminary design.
Thanks,
Stan
