REFLECTOR: Help-elevators

[gattenby at GBRonline.com]

Larry,

Do some math...

I'm building a suv (same body as an se) with the 173 wings.
The Canard is 178 inches long and the fusalage at the canard
bulkhead is 33 inches wide.

178-33 is 145 inches
145 / 2 is 72.5 inches.

Build them to the 73 that you have and you will still have
to trim them down.
