Dave Sparkey and John thanks for the input - My 90/10 weight distributioin is
due to the engine being ahead of the front wheels and the polar moment is
higher than a typical streamliner for the same reason - The chutes attach 10'
behind the CG , the small chute slightly loads the rear suspension and the
large one is neutral so I hope there wont be any problem when they open - Will
the tail fin overcome any squirrellyness at high speed and will the spool
synchronizing the front wheels reduce or add to the problem at lower speed ?
