We have posters and non-registered viewers here who have questions about the fundamentals of aerodynamics and piloting. This thread is created to encourage open discussion (but not arguements), and to provide links to useful information. Please ask all the questions that you have, but have been reluctant ask. HBA is full of people who can (and, hopefully, will) answer them.
