....Location of NP from LE = 0.75in
....Location of CG from LE = 0.41in
....Difference = 0.34in

So Static margin = (NP-CG)/MAC =0.34/7.7=4.4% ?

Could someone please confirm if this sounds right?

no unless you plan to fly inverted its not the conventional way to do it......

As I understand KF is supposed to give lift ... in your case its upside down!!!

Anyway lets see how it come out.... Ask someone expert to do maiden.

Re:

This seems to be Kfm -1 to me,
And if so should not be an issue as even Kfm1 is considered to have very stable flying characteristics, but with little less lift in comparison to Kfm2 .
So for a flying wing I guess its well suited.

here are some pics of the gull wing plane......it ended up looking like a bird with the tail feathers.....
after a LOT of thought.

I just have to add the top sheet and a hatch....CG seems right....a bit nose heavy with a 3S 750....just right with a 610.

weighs about 360 grams and feels like it would fly.

...and I just had to open up one side of the coro flute for the hinge -  Grin

....looks a lot better.....will post some pics when completed.

I started another build for the SW entry...here it is...http://www.rcindia.org/electric-planes/fenix-48-in-kfm2-bird-like-plane-2015-sweepstakes-entry/new/#new

This could happen to you OR has already happened

.....last Fri, I took 4 planes to fly - two old ones, This One and The Fenix.

....the backrest of my rear seat slammed down as I applied brakes at a speed breaker. It is under repairs right now. Test glides were ok.

Here are some pics of the finished plane.

...ensure the backrest of your rear seat is locked !!!
