Duh. Yes. Once I see the picture, it's obvious :-). Thanks.
While that certainly reduces the chord and prop area, won't that INCREASE the pitch, not DECREASE it? Take your procedure to a limit - if you...
It is my understanding that insurance companies WANT folks to pull the handle rather than land off airport. The data supports this as being safer,...

I can remove the wings and canard from a Long-EZ / COZY in about 2 hours, and pack the whole thing on a trailer for trucking in an afternoon....
