Rolling and yawing moments of inertia increased from normal values to values up to five times normal. For each moment-of-inertia condition, combinations of dihedral and vertical-tail area representing various airplane configurations were tested. Results were correlated with calculated stability and control characteristics, and good agreement was obtained. Flight performance of model became poorer with increasing moments of inertia; but with combination of small effective dihedral and large vertical-tail area, satisfactory flight characteristics were obtained.
