Wow! One more comment....... Thanks for posting your pictures. I expecially liked your alignment methods. Nothing like doing something with a lot of care.

Most of the frame is TIG welded 3/4" x.065 4130 tubing.

The five gallon bucket is for air sickness, I never did figure out the drag. LOL

The other question is about horizontal stab.
You obviously use none, although there is room and fixing easy available for it.
Why?

With an airframe this unique, along with the innovative landing gear and cyclic components, you had to spend a lot of time just in the design phase. This is very well thought out design and has excellent workmanship. I'm in awe. I also really like the way you made room for the prop when dropping the thrust line.
