PM me the details Ernie - I'd like to see it. I also have a friend who is an instructor at Durham Collage that would like to see it in the tunnel as well.

Get a moving ground plane and aero balance! hehe - I will have to come chirp in person since I have an office on the 5th floor, I must arrange to be there for this... JB should come too

Now all you need is a dynamically adjustable real-time aero package...

Cheers

I'm not an engineer, (but I have stayed in a Holiday Inn...) but wouldn't the down force from this (bowling ball controlled) wing be limited to the 10 or 12lbs of the bowling ball before it is overcome from aero action at speed? I think he needs to hook up a 50 or 60 more bowling *****. Of course now he has a weight issue. He could remove the engine to solve that. Always happy to help.
