I am well aware of the importance of the order of those letters--what I'm curious about is whether any flying model of that version of the Little John (if anyone has ever built one) had to have a balance point akin to that of a clock pendulum in order to fly straight. In other words, I'd rather *not* have to try to stuff a 12" mylar parachute into a BT-5 size Sport Scale MGR-3A Little John to support a heavy plastic nose cone filled with lead fishing sinkers and epoxy if I don't have to.
