Yes, Terry's fuselage has a very long nose moment. That would be the
longest of the bunch. It will help if you have a heavy tail or need a
really long tail moment.
The longer Supra pod I make is plenty long enough to balance a model
with a reasonable tail. With a light tail, you have to make sure you
don't put in too heavy of a battery pack.
The shorter pod usually requires a little nose weight. It is also
smaller, only 2" diameter. It also penetrates soft ground really well.
So if you are in the part of the country that gives 0 landing points
if the tail isn't on the ground, it's a bad choice.
I like the shorter pod better for landings. Long noses tend to have
more spring in them and bounce more. Unless you put on a shock
absorbing nosecone. Terry's fuselage is well suited for that setup
since the nose just slides over the pod.

Even the larger pod Phil is using wont be long enough. I see that the
Mantis fuse Terry makes has a pretty long nose moment so I will probably
go with that pod.

That is the smaller pod, the size that Mark Drela and Tom Kiesling
have on thier models. It has a shorter nose moment than the one that
most guys have purchased and what Phil is using.

Hi. Ive got a brand new Lachowski pod for sale. It is a Supra style
pod and would be good for some of you Supra builders. Excellent
quality, Im only selling it because it wont work for the project Im
doing (not a supra)as I need a longer nose moment.
120.00 includes ground shipping in USA.
