We can figure out the center of pressure and we can see if center of gravity is behind the center of pressure. ^_^

Here are the angles I sketched up in Solidworks compared to the Monotracer and the insight. Note:Accuracy of the angles is an estimate since the angle of the shot is not the same in all shots.

I will photoshop how the tail will look. The plan is to reduce the angle of attack into the wind by decreasing the angle of the windshield with plexiglass.
Lowes wants $67 for a 4'-3' (.080" thick) piece~$5.58/sq. ft(w/ -$10 of 50) =$57 or $4.75/sq ft. The current windshield is .155" thick (don't know the material). I found another supplier who is providing it for $2.8/sq ft (.08" thick). He also sells .093" and .118".
Should I buy thicker plexiglass? How thick? It will act as windshield and windows.
If anyone reading this wants to see something (sunroof,windshield wipers .... you name it) added let me know. I will try to engineer it in before proceeding. Also feel free to help engineer the front through photoshop or cad drawings.
