ftomstark | 17-Apr-10 14:25 | Sitting next to a foam rc P 26. I had intended to make another Comet P 26 as an rc but the foam P 26 is so unstable (always wants to roll over on its back) I decided that isn"t a good idea. |

Thanks, more dihedral would help. I also think the huge wheel pants are destabilizing when the airplane yaws. Anothe proplem I experienced is that profile models sometimes have too much side area exposed to the airflow which results in strange behavior, but not on all airplanes. Another factor may be all the rc stuff hanging out in th airflow may make the flow over the tail surfaces less than effective. I'm working on othe things now but thanks for your thoughtful input.
