Chuck, I marvel at your ability to "suffer fools" such as myself. Thanks for all the math but I'm with Birdy when it comes to all the math.
When I first started college I was anxious to go into aeronautical engeneering but found my math skills didn't go beyound Calculus 101. I did have 3 slipsticks and a pocket protector for the leaky pens! You really didn't have to be a rocket scientist to do medicine and ortho was kind of like a 5 yr shop course using bones instead of precious lumber like Stan puts in his staircases!
As you can see from my Avitar I do fly a RAF with a 5 ft width HS with endplates set at -2* incidence. I know its out of the prop blast but is much wider than my cabin so it is out of the draggy air and at speed over 40 it feels very stable. PPO and Bunts are generally a high speed phenomena and the protection of the HS improves with speed. I avoid all low speed high power scenereos as your just as dead from a torque over. I agree with you on the desirability of placing the HS behind the rudder and if I had known of it when shopping it would be my first choice. I really have the hots for a tractor design and have bee in touch with Ron Herron--he sends you his regards and accolades for all of your contributions.
