I'm sure most of you are familiar with the ULF-1.

Any comments about the pilot position and that approach to the fuselage, or would the preferred position be more life a standard Sailplane-type with the pilots head just in front of the leading edge?

If it's the latter, plus factoring the increase in pilot weight, I'm thinking that s slight forward sweep of the wing would be necessary to incorporate that.

I'm still in the process of acquiring the software to start doing an DE Model of the ribs, so hopefully that won't be too much longer.

The other position might be a bit similar to the Swift, but more forward of course, since the wing is not swept aft.

Right now I'm leaning toward sweeping the wing...
