Karim and all ,servo driven outriggers sounds like a good idea especially
for the Motor glider as I discovered after spending 12000 dollars there is
no provision for retracting the out riggers due to interference with the
dive brakes . But its only a matter of time before it is resolved as there
has to be a great ammount of drag caused by those long skinny legs ! Chris
