Lets build an electric ultralight (in one month)
As I recall, he used a weight shift hanglider wing but introduced a tailplane too so it was unconventional.... much more so too than his other designs both in terms of planform and aerodynamics. Peter- it's really great to have you posting here. Your biplane build was inspirational and a real...- paul w

Discussion Thread: The design of a tailless flying wing
Norman knows the theory, he successfully specified the flap size and location for one of my constant chord swept 'wing rc gliders. With my higher aspect ratio 'wings I've found it's better if the flapped area goes all the way to the root. If the flap doesn't extend fully inboard, I found you...- paul w
