Message Body

Kerry., I think your W & B is OK now. However I want to suggest something else. The Bakeng Duce has a rather high sink rate for the size wing it has. On our Duce, just as I start the flair I add back in a little power to break the decent. Maybe 1000 or 1100 RPM. Makes touchdowns almost impossible to feel if you do it right. Have your test pilot play with this a little. Gives a little more control over the tail feathers also. You other guys should pitch in here with your suggestions also. How about you Mark, Sam, others speak up.  Austin
