That's amazing! Earlier tonight I made two cardboard cutouts directly from a copy of the side and top views on the paint schemes which came with the Skonk Wulf plan pack. The average center of pressure using this method turned out to be a bit over 15 inches. I'll take photos tomorrow and post them here along with my math, such as it is.
I couldn't do the Barrowman method if my life depended on it. Fortunately, it does not!  |
