i like the nice big wing area!
Bam Bam. Tes the 260 is very true. When the Cg is correct, the pitch coupling is very minimal as is roll coupling.

Going from memory, I believe I ended up putting the stab around 6mm to 12mm above the wing center line. The prototype had a little higher stab, but I lowered it to reduce coupling a little.
