In trying to design a flying wing ultralight I found that sometimes something that doesn't make sense can be the perfect answer in a different situation.
What I'm getting at is I have a situation where I want to run the main spar behind the pilot. That puts it at about 50% back on the 8ft. root-cord.
I know some of you are going to have a lot of ancillary questions and preliminary objections, so I'll answer those as they come, but here's the question I am really seeking.....Can I use the Roncz FW airfoil even thpugh I'm not using it on a laminar wing, but instead a fabric one.
Now I don't beleive any of you really know the answer for sure, but the more I toy with this airfoil, the more seems to be the lucky pick to complete this design.
Come back and I will have some pics here for your veiwing pleasure...Sorry couldn't find no coppyable pics of the Roncz Low Drag Flying Wing Airfoil.<<<<<link!!!----+
