Thinking better, the long arm between the C.of G. and the tail surfaces can be enough for an efficient moment, so forget my previous entry.

Well, to be honest, they do seem a bit on the small side. I think you've definitely got a point there. Thanks for the

by the way. It were your designs actually that got me inspired to do this little... errr...jetpunk? thing in the first place!
