Thank you!
I did do a skydart style kit for two folks that used the wing I use for my StratoDart kit below but mounted on the top of the 2" tube like the skydart and with a standard ogive nose cone.....I didn't do a wider shorter chord skydart wing because i didn't think there would be enough interest, and I would have had to build a new prototype to figure out CG etc, so I used my kit as a start and just moved the wing to the top and the CG stayed the same.
For my StratoDart kits I prefer the mid mounted wing, it's simpler, the drag is more centered and I can use a center mounted motor, and I can cut the wing differently to fit into the boxes with only one joint, uses less carbon etc....I've done two versions of my StratoDart kit, one with a skydart style tail and the latest one uses a concorde style tail...and it comes with the interceptor cone. I think it looks better than the skydart but that's just me.
