Lancair Legacy Design Flaw?

wrote: The one thing not quite right is that there is no important difference between tractor vs. pusher configurations with respect to directional stability. Like some of the early rocket designers (e.g. Goddard), you are falling into the fallacy that somehow pulling is more stable than pushing. This is not so. Pusher or tractor makes virtually no difference, but the vast majority of pilon mounted engines ARE pushers - and the pilon mounted engine does have that nasty quirk.
